Read descriptions and comments for both. I would recommend you to test both but not at same time to compare. You could install both then manage mods under mod tab in Kenshi launch menu for disable and enable. You might want to install Moisture Farming mod for enhanced shopping economy as mentioned in description.

I have been happy with vanilla. A shop at outpost brings in hive traders etc they are pretty cashed up. Regular traders just do bartering.

City meh.

But they don't go to your shops? I been playin vanilla for a while and there's nobody there they never buy anything to my experience.

Traders have always showed up but they are manual buy n sell only

I played vanilla for a while and found the economy to be lacking. I personally have both mods installed and enjoy them both.

Enhanced shopping economy arguably makes the game "easier" in the sense that there is a larger pool of items to choose from at any given shop and many of the stores carry more than 25,000 cats, but really all it does is save you time. In vanilla, I would have to run between 3 to 4 different merchants to sell all my goods, now I can just do it at one. Also, the larger selection of items means you don't have to wait multiple days hoping that a particular item shows up.

NPCs enjoy shopping also does not break the game economy, in my opinion, and the most lucrative way to make money is still going out and exploring or selling trade goods directly to vendors.
