For me, the DeACSM plugin is easier. I download the .ascm file, use the Add Books tool to add it to calibre and during the add pipeline, the epub is downloaded.

I use Firefox to download the .acsm files, for my personal preferences it is easier to download from multiple sites using one tool. If I only obtained ePubs from libraries, the Overdrive plugin might be more useful but I obtain ePubs from multiple sites.

One item to remember is that like the majority of the input plugins, DeACSM only sees the file during the import process. You can't click on the file once it has been imported.

If I recall correctly, the Overdrive Libby plugin will use the DeACSM plugin to obtain the epub version during the import process so if both are installed and configured, you should get an ePub when a .acsm file is downloaded.
