For me enums win especially when you consider that you can get help from your environment every time you add/remove stuff. Some languages force you to deal with the changes (i.e. rust) or you could add linter rules for other languages. But you're more likely to catch a problem before it arises, rather than deal with ever increasing bool checks. Makes reasoning about states a lot easier.
