Answer 1

I've used both ngx-bootstrap(by Valor) and ng-bootstrap(by ng-boostrap). Here are my two cents of the unique features you get from them:

ngx-bootstrap:

1. Builtin animation support on almost everything (modals, accordion, collpase, dropdown, datepicker...)
2. Better Modal support (nested modals, modal as a service, modal as a template)
3. Sortable Component (with Drag&Drop Feature)

ng-bootstrap:

1. Nav Feature (Tabset has been made deprecated)
2. Builtin Toast component
3. Package size is almost half times as ngx-bootstrap (Minified + Gzipped)

You can also compare between their npm download counts with npmtrends.

[Note: My answer is based current latest version i.e ngx-bootstrap v5.5.0 and ng-boostrap v6.0.0]
