Dividend route or individual stocks?

Long story short I have a vested state pension, currently working in another state with that pension, a 457 i contribute very minimal to, and a Roth. I wouldn’t say my roth is my main retirement account, but I contribute $100/mo anyways. I don’t know if I should invest in SCHD or other dividend funds, or individual stocks. If this Roth is like a side piece for my retirement what’s the best? Growth or dividend growth? Also, please don’t mention QQQ, VTI or any of those. I already know about them
