Every now and then some one will ask me WHY do I talk on SSB only , you can talk on AM or even FM now .I think the best example of why SSB and not the others is to tell you of my last contact today . 3/7/22 monday and it,s busy on 11 meters every one,s talking to some one and I have made a cotact to on -- 555 so we move to --480 . we start talking about radio and antennas and all of a sudden we have 1- 2- 3 radio operators talking over us . So I weight and I tell them the frequency is now in use . You know what they said , they apologized and moved off to make contacts elsewhere and that,s why I talk on SSB and not on the others....You all have a nice day.

AM and FM is for checking SWR. SSB is for DX'ing. 
For local work
AM is great for rag chewing on Saturday nite.
SSB is for working the ditchbank net on Friday.
SSB packs all it's power in one sideband, and less noise on rx because of the narrow bandwidth is just a win win.
