Answer

"Present" and "Futur Proche" are more used in a oral conversation, because easier to conjugue.
We use often "Present" but if the context of futur action isn't clear we use "Futur Proche".

Orally, "Futur" is used for a action who'll come after or a action more punctual.

"On va aller au cinema ce soir, et j'achèterai des pop-corns."
"On va au cinema ce soir, et après nous irons au restaurant."
