eudev is a fork of a mature project. It works well already.
vdev is a new thing, in alpha stages, of a rewrite that uses novel
technologies that have a number of upsides. It is not ready for wide use

It's good to have both! vdev is an investment -- it may give cool new
features above systemd, eudev is the old way. If vdev peters out, eudev
keeps working.
