After having some trouble with Ubuntu Software Centre on 16.04LTS, I noticed I had both ubuntu-software and software-center installed. I have removed them both. Which one should I install?

Software Centre comes by default in Ubuntu versions prior to 16.04.
Ubuntu Software comes by default in Ubuntu versions 16.04 and later, and is much better than Software Centre. It is the latest one and is thus recommended.

"Ubuntu Software
and is much better" -- I've never understood how people could say this. The search functionality on Ubuntu Software is basically useless. – krumpelstiltskin Nov 07 '17 at 13:03
