Wave washer is used when the load is static or when the working range is small, and the allowable amount of axial space is limited. They act as cushions between parts and absorb the shock.
Disc spring washers also known as Belleville washers are used singly or in stacks to achieve the desired load. High load can be attained within small design space. Since they are used in stacks even if a single disc breaks down it doesnt lead to the downfall of the entire assembly. They have low cost of operation as they can be replaced easily.
