I got confused to use Helmet or nextjs internal Head component , in one hand I have Head component internally without any extra overhead , in other hand we have well known Helmet with some other advantages.

Could some one give us a best practice about choosing which of them ? thanks in advance

Use Head until it no longer serves your needs. No reason to increase your build size with an extra package if it's going to do the exact same thing. Unless there's a performance boost (there's not) or Helmet can do something you need better than Head can, use Head.

There are active issues which may get you in the long run with next/head last time I checked. https://github.com/zeit/next.js/issues/3494 and https://github.com/zeit/next.js/issues/8220. Haven't checked react-helmet of late for similar bugs however I know I chose react-helmet because of these bugs in next/head.

Best practise is best decided by your team, what is best practise to one team may not to another :-)
