In my experience, Overdrive does seem to be the most common in the US, but sometimes it's not just one or the other, either. I was surprised to discover recently that my new library, while offering OD, also buys titles from Cloud Library, and splits their ebook collection between the two with seemingly no rhyme or reason (other than, presumably, whichever gives them the better price?). So one new fiction title I might be looking for might be available on OD, and the next only on CL.
