What Smite to Take?

So, I've been getting into jungle lately with the new season n' all, and having Sejuani 2400 BE was very nice, but i'm really curios on what kind of "Smite" to take, I know there is "Slow Smite" "Burn Smite" and "Vision Smite" I mean here's my idea but I'd like to apply it to situations.

Usually I take ward smite when I feel I will get invaded a lot; Usually I assume you'd take red smite as a dmg jg'er but sometimes I take it on tanks when the enemy team comp is squishy; and lastly I usually never take the cold smite thing, but I'd assume it was for no mobility champs, to secure the kill easier? But I have no clue honestly.

So, what smite should I take when and why?

Ward to track the other jungler, especially if you cant fight them 1v1 so your allies can come help or not get ganked when you provide the deep vision in their jungle

Red on auto attack heavy and duelist champs when you invade their jungler Blue for gank heavy champs or caster champs who dont auto a lot

I will usually take blue if I am tank to get better cc and secure kill. I will take red if I am damage and the enemy has bursty champs.

Green smite when you wanna play more supportive and help with vision. One thing to make sure is to get red trinket so you can counter enemy wards.

Blue smite if your lanes lack CC. The slow will be a good CC to help secure a kill.

Red smite if you wanna invade the other jungler alot or expect alot of invades coming for you. It will help you win the duels.

It really is preference. You can use any type of smite on any type of jungler, depending on what sort of playstyle you have or what your team needs that game.

If you want the highest winrate/most popular pick, however, you can specifically look up your champion on OP.GG
