Metres are more acurate and easyer to use.
The "foot" measure started from people long ago, that had no way of measuring something right. So they estimated the lenght of objects by comparing it to the lenght of their feet (wich is about 30cm for most people, but never certain). Needless to say, it could get confusing.
In general, people who measure in feet use Inches for small lenghts and people who use meters use centimeters. An inch is basically 2.5 centimeters, so centimeters can be more specific.
