As far as presedence go, I have no personal preference here. 

I myself use csharp-ls, because it’s faster, but it’s newer with less lineage 
and only aims to support new “.net core” type projects. 

Omnisharp is not as fast, but has been around for a longer time and officially 
also supports “legacy”-style .net framework projects. 

As such it probably make sense to present Omnisharp as the default, since it 
offers the highest compatibility guarantees regardless of target code-base.
