Depends on what I am building.

I go the first path for on-premise/local stuff and the second for the rest.

Usually, I don't build on-premise solutions anymore, so it's third-party all the way.

Amazon Cognito being my poison of choice right now.

Oh the days of full on-premise solutions. I think a lot of these decentralized web protocols are trying to make that concept more portable. But it's going to take a long time. Personal servers for everyone in their pocket or on their desk? Maybe it'll happen. Until then, using cloud solutions and probably third-party is easiest.
