Different people use different calendars. But for me, I will continue to use the Hillel II calendar. One of the reasons is because the holy days for the year are fixed which makes it easier to plan ahead. I've seen some organizations use a sighted-moon calendar and when a new moon comes later than projected, they have to adjust the rest of the calendar which changes the dates of the holy days. This makes it more difficult to plan ahead.
Other reasons why I like to use the Hillel II calendar is in this article.

I follow the home worship videos of Triumph In Truth Ministries most of the time preached by G. Steven Simons. Where we differ is that use the Hillel II calendar while they use a Sighted Moon calendar. They recently told people that because one of the the new moons came a day later than projected, they had to readjust their calendar for the rest of the Hebrew year. Doing this moves the dates of the Holy Days. I can't use a calendar like that because it would be difficult for me to inform my employer that I am taking the Holy days off, and then go to them again to change the dates if the New Moon comes later than projected.
I would be interested in knowing how people who use a Sighted Moon calendar deal with things like this. Where they inform their employer of days off to keep the Holy Days, and then inform them again if a New Moon comes later than projected and the Holy Day dates change?
