Ask Is it better to work with clients who give creative freedom or those who give specific direction?

I often wonder which type of client makes work easier in the long run. Some clients allow you to decide everything, which sounds nice but can also feel like too much responsibility. Others give very clear steps and instructions, which can reduce stress but may limit your ideas. Both sides have good and bad parts depending on the project. From your experience, which one has helped you grow more and deliver better results, and why?
