Bismuth is better for those of us who want dynamic tiling.
Unfortunately, the developer no longer wants to maintain it, and while it's still working through KDE gaining a tiling API (that doesn't do anything dynamically, also what Polonium uses) for the most part, who knows how long it'll last...
Bismuth was broken for a while on KDE 5.27, which opened space for Polonium to gain some adopters. There's a long thread about the future of Bismuth. Unless someone else takes the lead, it'll be unlikely it'll keep working reliably on Plasma 6 and Wayland, at least during this transition phase.
Hmm for now I encountered no errors, but I'll consider Polonium and seeing if I can use another light wm (although TBH I don't know this world that much, so I don't know what nice wm exists that has this kind of cycling layouts behavior)
I'm using Bimuth window decoration theme. You can also toggle that setting for specific windows with Plasma in System Settings/Shortcuts/Kwin/Toggle title bar and window frame (or something like that, I use this in Spanish). You can also customize this configuration per application.

I'd recommend polonium.

May I ask why? I've been trying this one too (nothing serious), but I think I do like Bismuth better due to all the different layouts

They're all text config driven. Check out archcraft, dude sells arch presets for a lot of rolling managers and you can donate 25 cents to get one.
