Choosing between RLWE-KEX methods. Recently, I've been researching and implementing a bit of post-quantum cryptography, and I came across two RLWE-KEX algorithm for key exchange. 

The first one, which I implement in my software, is the one by V.Singh http://eprint.iacr.org/2015/138 which provides 2 practical parameter sets. I find this one simple and easy to implement. 

However, this paper seems to get little attention and few citation compared to NEWHOPE http://eprint.iacr.org/2015/1092 by L.Dacus et al. It provides only 1 set of practical parameters, but seems to get more attention. I remember seeing another stackexchanger recommending it to a fellow, and there are several proposals for improvements out there (although I feel these improvements also apply to the VS scheme back there). 

So, should I switch? I do remember NIST saying they don't expect to "pick a winner", so I guess I could stick to my choice. Or is there an inherent advantage within NEWHOPE over the VS scheme?
As NEWHOPE builds its security proof based upon previous works, and that Google has been experimenting with it, I think I should read the paper more thoroughly and hop along.
