Whichever works best for you. I would recommend Wayland to anyone, but if you run into any problems with it (either bugs with your compositor or protocol limitations), then just use X11.
Honestly, I never heard of it before, so I checked to see what it is. I wrote a pretty neat config for my i3wm and to this day am so comfortable with it that I would never change it.
From my understanding after a look, it is pretty much i3wm for Wayland. If my config works well with it, I might give it a shot.
X11 for xdotool. ydotool doesn’t support (& can’t really support with it’s current architecture) retrieving information like the current mouse location, current window, window dimensions & titles. Also, normal (unprivileged) user ydotool use requires udev rules or session scripts and/or running a ydotool daemon & many distros don’t yet ship with this Just Working.
X11 for Alt-F2 r to restart Gnome Shell without ending the whole session. This is a useful workaround for a variety of Gnome bugs.
I use xpra which lets me run persistent seamless windows from my VMs and remote servers. It would probably work okay with xwayland but i might as well keep using X. I understand why people use Wayland though and would recommend it to newcomers.
X11, because I haven’t figured out how to get Wayland to work with my Nvidia 1070. One day I’ll put in the effort, or finally upgrade my card. But for now it’s fine
Hyprland has an option of forwarding any hotkey to an application, essentially allowing for global hotkeys in all apps, including Discord for which it doesn’t work normally.
