They just do the same thing, test them out and pick one that’s right for you.

I would test out ProfileService/ProfileStore and Suphis DataStore module first, then move onto the rest.

I think it depends on your scenario. I am not so sure of Lapis,Lyra and Suphi’s Datastore I will check these out but I have currently been trying to move to ProfileStores.

For example
ProfileStores are better for-
PlayerXp, Currency, Inventory

DataStores are better for-
Global Leaderboards, Storing game settings, Loggings

I wrote ProfileStore (A newer version over ProfileService) as a universal module for storing player data for most game’s needs. I’ve been handling DataStores in my modules for the past 4 years in methods that now correlate with how Roblox has been recommending to do it only for the past 2 or so months: Implement player data and purchasing systems | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

Unsure if the “ProfileStore” was supposed to bring me to a page or not. It says access denied. (PS Thanks for Darkness 2 and the OG Mad Murderer. Really made my childhood)
