While both are capable libraries, they also have advantages and disadvantages which are important to consider before choosing one over the other.

Any tutorials you recommend for URLSession?
This isn’t specifically what you’re looking for but just an FYI, BlueSocket gives you a fairly typical (in the Unix sense) API around sockets.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Starscream and BlueSocket you can also consider the following projects:
Socket.IO
SocketRocket
SwiftWebSocket
WebSocket - WebSocket implementation for use by Client and Server
SwiftSocket - The easy way to use sockets on Apple platforms
SocketIO-Kit - Socket.io iOS and OSX Client compatible with v1.0 and later
Alamofire - Elegant HTTP Networking in Swift
Swift-ActionCableClient - ActionCable is a new WebSocket server being released with Rails 5 which makes it easy to add real-time features to your app. This Swift client makes it dead-simple to connect with that server, abstracting away everything except what you need to get going.
