satori uuid vs google uuid vs gofrs uuid ? which to use to generate uuid for enterprise coding standards

Any way of blocking or preferring a package?
I use Google's UUID package a lot. But every time I refer to it in a new package, the language server picks up https://github.com/gofrs/uuid instead of https://github.com/google/uuid and then complains that the gofrs package isn't in go.mod. I assume because it's the first alphabetically (though this seems like a huge supply chain security loophole).

What makes this different than https://github.com/gofrs/uuid ?

Building web-based SaaS with Go as a solo entrepreneur. What should I be aware of?
Something to note is that all of this is still open source. Theoretically, someone can decide to fork SQLBoiler and add all the missing things, or send in a PR. A good example is that the current most popular uuid package. gofrs/uuid was forked from an unmaintained previously popular package.

Which UUID package do you use? and why?
You could also look at github.com/gofrs/uuid which includes support for v6 and v7 from the latest draft UUID spec. Personally I think the API for this library is nicer since the google one makes it difficult to tell what kind of UUID you are generating.

Postgres has native UUID support so don't use VARCHAR(36). Look at https://github.com/gofrs/uuid library, among others, to create uuid.
