I get the behavior I want from transform.rotate but I also want the behavior from addforce on the object also should I be using both on the same object ?
If you use transform.rotate you can get into situations where two colliders are penetrating each other. The methods on transform do not check with the physics system and so will allow you to move objects in ways that a Rigidbody will not. Whether or not this is acceptable or if you should be doing this is up to you - just know the consequences (no collision check on transform movement).
To get behavior similar to what you want, but still respect physics so you don’t accidentally clip into any other objects, you may want to use rigidbody.MoveRotation instead. You’ll have to change the format a little bit since transform.Rotate rotates by a certain amount, but rigidbody.MoveRotation sets the rotation as if you went transform.rotation = someRotation.
