Hot paprika is not as hot as chilli powder.The Spanish use it in very small quantities.You shouldn't add very much smoked paprika to a dish as it can be coarse and overpowering , so don't worry about the heat factor.

The sweet smoked is the best all round one

I use a little of each in a recipe, hot and smoked, as mentioned above, I personally find too much smoked paprika is not very nice.

Ordinary sweet paprika is the one I use most, hot paprika occasionally.Smoked paprika has limited uses and, as I said earlier, can be easily overdone.After trying many different brands of sweet paprika including cheap bulk paprika from Indian food stores and expensive Spanish paprika in tins I have decided that the Greggs brand that comes in little packets is the freshest and best tasting.
