I would always go to the official docs page for the needs I have, and use their HTTP library (or any other). It removes decision making, having to ensure good quality practices from lesser known libraries, and risks of supply chain attacks (assuming the root stdlib of a language would have more attention to detail and security than any random 3rd-party library thrown into github by a small group of unpaid devs)

Only when it falls short on my needs, I would drop the stdlib and go in dearch of a good quality, reputable, and reliable 3rd-party lib (which is easier said than done).

Has worked me well with Go and Python. I would enjoy the same with Rust. Or at a minimum, a list of libraries officialy curated and directly pointed at by the lang docs.
