Tbh I've tried calisthenics and going to the gym

Calisthenics definitely has a higher chance for injury because it's hard to overload safely.

True, in the gym you can decapitate yourself when benching, but if you just use dumbbells and keep the weights reasonable you're good.

Also much easier to mark increases in strength by just adding 5 pounds to your lifts.

Also at the gym you can barbell squat. It trains your lower back in a way that pistol squats just dont

I still love using calisthenics movements but if I had to choose I'd pick a gym.
