Hi, I guess it's more a question of preference. What I do is using the same vector type as the matrix type: PETSc matrix -> PETSc vector, Trilinos matrix -> Trilinos vector, matrix-free -> deal.II vector. deal.II vector can use multithreading unlike PETSc vector but if you are using MPI, I don't think that you will see a big difference.
