Newbie what to use char or varchar

I was told that char is better than varchar. Is this right?



I am going to have fields that are set to be either 25  50 100 or 150
characters long. Is there a reason any of these fields should be char
or varchar? I have allways used varchar but I would like to know what
is best.
