    So, after Addressables.Loadassetasync , should I call regular Gameobject.Instantiate or Addressebles.InstantiateAsync ? Which is preferred over the other and why?

    If you've loaded the reference, you should just use normal 
    Object.Instantiate()
    .

    If you haven't loaded it, you can use 
    Addressables.InstantiateAsync
    or AssetReference.InstantiateAsync to make an instance, though this isnt the recommended way. Better to just do the first way, load the reference, instantiate normally.
