I use the paddle for buttercream and just about everything else too! The only thing I think I use the whisk for is beating egg whites or whipped cream.

I currently use the whisk but I am going to switch to the paddle to see if I get less air bubbles in my buttercream.

Definitely use the paddle - the wisk is for incorporating air, like for meringue, whipped cream, etc.

I use the paddle to make my buttercream. If I need to incorporate air for egg whites, I use the whisk.
