Cleansing water vs. cleansing balm, which is better?

I've only used cleansing water my whole life, so I'm curious because I heard cleansing balm is good and I want to try it!

How does it feel compared to cleansing water?

Doesn't it feel slippery like oil?

I'm worried my pores might get clogged.

It seems like Banila Co. products are the most famous, but please recommend some other good products as well!
