I am trying to find out what is the best Datastore service to use.
Datastore2 or Profileservice?

In terms of reliability Datastore2 is Pretty great, it uses “berezaa’s method”/ordered backups and caching to ensure data is saved. Considering Datastore2 uses normal datastores, Datastore2 doesn’t really not have any disadvantages the normal datastore has, I would say it “only builds on it” in a good way. As mentioned Datastore2 is player oriented/based, That being said I would reccomend using Datastore2 for certain circumstances, for when you have things like currency to save, settings or anything that needs to be saved for each player (etc.). However, I wouldn’t use it for things such as leaderboards, Using Datastore2 makes it harder or possibly even impossible to do such because of its player-oriented nature but also because if you plan to make it live updating, caching wouldn’t be in favor of that.
