Which data store framework/library should be used in the present times?

I am coming back to Roblox development after being away for a few years. Back then I would always use DataStore2 to handle all things related to player data.

It would give me complete control of how the data is structed, along with a guarantee of no data loss.

However it’s been quite a long time and I’ve seen multiple new libraries (like ProfileService) have been launched, plus there have been a lot of updates to Roblox itself.

Therefore I ask, which data store framework/library should be used in the present times?

Does DataStore2 still remain the best option if I want total control without risking data loss?

I believe it to be ProfileStore.

Go with ProfileService. It is the easiest one to set up and start rolling. It will get the work done better than any packages out there.
