Both are different. Sometimes you have a specific need and sometimes you have a general need.

A person may be in need of a wife (in general) so can make dua for a pious Muslimah

A person may be in need for a specific mode of transport (i.e. a car) and a specific car (Pickup truck) for business

A person may be in need for a specific mode of transport (i.e. a car) and a specific car (Pickup truck) and then a specific pickup truck (i.e. Toyota) due to high load carrying capacity and greater fuel efficiency

All needs should be submitted to Allah (SWT).

Indeed but the question is which is better?
Is it better to make du'aa for specific things?
Or is it better to make du'aa for general things?

Or is it better not to make du'aa asking for anything and just make du'aa thanking Allah and asking for something in the hereafter or a good character or good deeds..Nothing that can be possessed?
Understand my question?
