I see many people say that "anchor" will easily get penalized by Google.you should use both (link diversity and variation is important).
Of course, you shouldn't use them willy-nilly, you do need a bit of strategy. But in the end you're going to use both

abused / overused anchors yes, but this is usually true for exact match anchors. The other types (branded, naked URLs, generic) get more lenience

Anchor text backlinks and naked URLs both have a role in SEO. Although over-optimization can result in penalties, anchor text aids in keyword relevance. A natural link profile is offered by naked URLs. For a natural and successful backlink strategy, a well-balanced combination of exact-match, generic, and branded anchors is ideal.

There is on standard answer to this.
You have to think diversification on this.
You have to try both since google loves to have diversification.

Ideally neither - the best links are from fragments of text in a relevant article. You see these sorts of links in legit newspaper articles all the time. If the fragment of text just so happens to contain a relevant keyword or other related term, all the better. But ideally you shouldn't be crowbarring in a keyword into your article and using it as a link anchor.

If your website is new, then you can focus on building brand visibility; using naked URLs can be a great strategy. This helps in creating a natural backlink profile and avoids over-optimization early on. As your website grows, you can start diversifying your anchor text by incorporating different types such as exact match, partial match, branded, long-tail, naked, and generic anchors.

If in doubt, thats what I do. It’s a safe bet every single time but most of it helped rank for my main brand keyword(s).
