I prefer using gophian for my packaging since it's much more reliable in
my experience (dh-make-golang chokes on certain packages from time to
time). It also has several quality-of-life features not present in dh-
make-golang that make the packaging process a bit quicker, like filling
in the ITP bug number, generating an ITP message, and prompting you when
required to select the intended package type, source package name, and
binaries to include (and time adds up when I'm working through large
dependency trees).

Unless there is some sort of consensus in the Go Team, then dh-make-
golang 100%. I'm currently able to keep up with any major changes in dh-
make-golang. The Go Team's infrastructure overall and go-team.pages.d.n
need more attention at the moment.
