Several types of heat exchangers are commonly used in industrial settings, each with its own advantages and best use cases. Here are some of the most common types:
Plate Heat Exchangers: These are becoming preferred due to better heat transfer, easier maintenance and cleaning, modularity, and compactness. They are more efficient than shell and tube heat exchangers in many industrial and most HVAC applications.
The best type of heat exchanger for industrial use depends heavily on the particular process in which the heat exchanger is installed. Factors such as the type of fluids being used, the desired temperature change, the pressure, and the flow rate will all impact which type of heat exchanger is most suitable.

It depends and could be different case by case. I suggest to start by reading a good book. There are plenty of them, like:

according to TEMA there are basically six types of heat exchangers (HEs). like wise TEMA type E, F,G etc. Type E is used for where no phase change is required..easy to construct...well suited for analysis and prediction purposes. for more details kindly refer the literature and books available.

TEMA is a great code for tubular heat exchangers. Especially when it goes to shell an tube heat exchangers. It's good that you mentioned it.
But there are other types of heat exchangers that you might find good info in ASME section VIII
