Well, a bird told me that variables should be assigned as static when they are used often.

This bird gave you just a part of the information. We should see what "often" really mean. Making them static only worth if the function is called per frame(i.e
PreThink,
AddToFullPack,
CmdStart, etc) or if you are working with very big arrays(so you don't overflow anything).
Even if you have a task that repeats at 1.0 seconds and only small arrays static is not needed.
You could also use static on a global variable
if you work with multiple files(i.e custom includes) and you want a variable to be accesible only in the scope of the file in which it was create.
Using
static in other cases is pretty much over-optimization and for the sake of good practices let's use
new.
