Add "Kubuntu Backports" PPA or "Kubuntu Updates" PPA? Or both?

The first PPA is called "Kubuntu Backports" and the second PPA is called "Kubuntu Updates".

Which one of those two PPAs should I add to Kubuntu/Ubuntu in order to get the best and the most up to date KDE Plasma? Or should I add both PPAs?

kde ppa kubuntu backport plasma

    I would suggest installing only the kubuntu-backports ppa when it becomes available for 18.04.

    Backports of new versions of KDE Platform, Plasma and Applications as well as major KDE apps for Kubuntu

    from https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports

    Also, you could monitor https://www.kubuntuforums.net/forumdisplay.php/30-Kubuntu-Announcements where Kubuntu devs will announce the kubuntu-backports releases.

    You could also monitor The kubuntu-devel Archives and, in particular https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2018-May/011659.html as to what exactly will be provided via the kubuntu-backports ppa in 18.04.
