Actually, I use nm on my laptop (it's much much better > than wicd) and dhcpcd on my raspberry pi. What would you use and why ? As it was said above it is matter of personal preference. Personally I try to use the simplest possible tools that do its job. And I switched all my machines to systemd-networkd (+wpa_supplicant for wifi). Network/WIFI/DHCP work great, no complains. My advice it to start with systemd-networkd and only if it does not work for you then look at other alternatives. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-networkd#Basic_DHCP_network
