Choose Google Analytics when your primary concern is server response time and accessibility. Its audit data shows consistent strength in these areas across the sampled sites.

Twitter doesn't clearly lead Google Analytics in any category on the sampled sites — pick it based on developer experience, ecosystem, or existing team skills rather than the audit scores.
