What is the most popular crate for logging in Rust?

I've been delving back into rust using Advent of Code as an excuse and I wanted to add logging to my code but I'm unsure which crate to use.

I'm more interested in what's most popular, meaning more likely for me to run other rust projects, rather than performance/features as so in the future to be more likely to already have familiarity in using even if most logging framework do follow established convention for the most part. So I'd like an active rust programmer view point of the matter.

I've been looking at the tracing or log crates as the most promising candidates, but other suggestions are welcomed.
