Either way is fine - as long as you don't use the same addresses for both.
Check your router settings and it will probably tell you the DHCP range is
192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 or something similar.

If so just set the top end to 192.168.1.100  and assign your mac a static
one above that range.

Or just set your mac to DHCP, which is fine unless you are using port
forwarding on the router to access resources on your mac from outside your
network.
