I want to use the pie menus addon, but confusingly I have two of them. The second is called "official", and it has a higher version number, but the first one seems to have a lot more hotkeys...

enter image description here

EDIT As I got here only generic answers, I researched and compared them, and here is what I found: the "unofficial" 3d Viewport Pie Menus are a new addon in 2.78, and as of 2.78 they seem to be more powerful than the official ones.

  • Tab: the "unofficial" is better, because it has an Edit/Object toggle, and most of the time this is what we want. One can also directly jump to the edge/face/vertex selection sub-modes from the Object mode.
  • Ctrl-Space: the "unofficial" is better, because it has combined widget options
  • . (pivot setting): the same
  • Z (shading): the same
  • Ctrl-Shift-Tab (snap): the the "unofficial" seems more powerful
  • q (views): the "unofficial" is definitely more powerful, it has not only the views, but options like lock camera to view.
  • Clip Editor pies: this is only in the official
  • There are 11 more pie menus only in the "unofficial", all of them can be activated individually, and as the accepted answer says, one can also combine them
