You should use libgee unless you have a good reason not to. The only
reason I see is interoperability (and it is a very good one). For
example, if you want to use libraries that use the GLib collections, it
may be better to use GLib everywhere and not have to convert. Another
example is if you're writing a library and want it to be usable from
gobject-introspection: libgee doesn't work well (if at all) with
introspection.
