Modern Communication site OR Modern Team site for creating a common area site for our company
- I would say, based on the use scenarios which are orientated towards engagement and collaboration, as opposed to communication, that a modern Team site would fit better with what you are looking to achieve.
Hope that answers your question

Team sites do have advantages as you have noted, but just to note if you want this as the landing page of your SharePoint Site then the new Home Sites, designed to be landing pages - are built upon the Communication Site not Team Site.

Best, ChrisChrisHoardMVP thanks for the link, to be honest i have not heard of sharepoint home sites before, but they look interesting. in all the cases if we were building the main intranet home site (root site) i would have concerns. but currently the main intranet site is a classic team site which already contain data and have been used for around 1.5 year .. so the common area site will just be a site collection which have a link from the main home site, but it is not scoped to be the home or root site collection. also seems the concepts in sharepoint online keeps changing, we use to heard about hub sites (which did not scale well, as most people read about them and do not use them),, so now we are having what is called home sites...
so based on the above modern teams or modern communication for our common area site?
