That depends whether you want to support Open ID. As to the reasons behind Open ID, in my view the most compelling one is that it avoids requiring your users to have an account just for your site, with all the hassle that involves (yet another username and password to remember).
If you decide you want to use Open ID, there’s not need to choose between that and auth – use
django-openid-auth, which adds Open ID support to the auth framework.Definitely try and avoid using an Open ID implementation that doesn’t plug into Django’s auth framework – you’ll lose a lot of the baked-in goodness of Django (model-level permissions etc).
