Should You Use The Post Name Or The Custom Post URL Structure In WordPress?

In episode 356 of our weekly Hump Day Hangouts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaKPp7VgJ0o), one viewer asked if you should use the post name or the custom post URL structure in WordPress. The exact question was: Hello, for a money site with a blog using WordPress.. Regarding blog post URLs, which would be better from a site visitor user experience perspective AND for best seo? Using ""Post Name"" or ""Custom"" with /blog/post-title for the url?? Keeping in mind ""Blog"" + Keyword focused ""Page"" names to be used in the main Nav menu (thinking this way for the nav menu would be ideal). I read using /blog/ ""helps for organizing the site and explaining to Google's crawlers which is a blog post and which is a static page"". I would use wordpress breadcrumbs to help if recommended.
