Although this is pretty opinion-based, I'm going to answer:
First of all, you should decide on what you want to do. If you want to synchronize gameobjects over the network, you should probably go with the built-in networking or photon. I have no big experience with them, but I also believe the built-in networking is the only one with which you can achieve physics simulation on the server.
If you do not need gameobject sync, you should definitely go for Lidgren.Network gen3. You can go very low level if you want to and it's blazingly fast and easy to extend. Although the learning curve is a bit steep due to lacking docs.
