Use links when an action redirects user to another page. Use buttons when an action updates current view. Buttons and links are the bedrock of user interactions and they should always indicate clearly what the effect will be when interacted. A view should only present one primary action as the user flow is usually degraded by having multiple competiting primary actions.
If there are many “primary buttons”, none of them is really primary. Also try to keep the number of secondary buttons in the view limited. Four to five at most. Too many options disturb the flow and increase the cognitive load.
It would make sense to provide the option for primary action before the secondary ones. Try not to break the hierarchy by mixing too many actions with varying degrees of importance.
Try to find the correct balance between of what the business would like the user to do and what she most probably finds interesting or critical for the task at hand.
Use the internal button when you redirect users to internal pages.
