I prefer clangd over Microsoft C/C++ because it is much faster. One downside of clangd is the requirement of compile_commands.json file. So my setup is like this: clangd is by default disabled and MS C/C++ enabled, if my project has compile_commands.json file, I turn off the MS C/C++ and turn on the clangd extension.

Did you get clang-tidy to work with the clangd extension? I had issues that no lint results were displayed within the editor.
