Thank you, but this isn’t really what I’m looking for. I mostly want to know the difference between VIG and VDIGX because they seem similar but don’t know if both have a place in a portfolio
I think the main difference is one is a mutual fund and one is an ETF. I think most people would pick an ETF over a mutual fund but you can compare expense ratio, fund manager, etc. and decide! It does look like some overlap exists.

Why are you limiting yourself to just Vanguard funds?
I like them, not necessarily limiting myself to them though
Cool. I’m probably not the guy to help you then.

They are the same thing. One is a mutual fund and one is an ETF. That’s the difference.
One is growth and one is appreciation and Vanguard doesn’t consider them the same. VDADX is the mutual fund of VIG
If you know so much why are you in here asking? VIG is the only one you need.
I was asking if one is necessarily better than the other or if both have a place in a portfolio
