Welcome!
In general at a time when interest rates are close to zero, anything with the word "bond" in it just makes very little sense. It's just not worth it to put your money in a bond fund if you can pick up the super high quality dividend aristrocrat of you choosing for the same yield, and get annual dividend increases as well as probable price appreciation to go with it.
I can't comment on the tax free status as I'm not too familiar with your tax system, however in most cases it's best to look at where you can get the risk/reward that you're looking for and then figuring out how to do that while paying as little taxes as possible.
