After I upgraded from Ubuntu 18.10 to 19.04, several desktop managers started to appear in my login screen:

Which one should I use normally?

My questions:

  • Which of these are going to be deprecated?

As of April 2019, there is no plan to deprecate any of them.

The most likely to survive over the long term is GNOME (plain GNOME).

  • GNOME Classic is merely a the Gnome desktop without the Ubuntu modifications. Some folks prefer this experience.
  • GNOME on XORG is merely a fallback option for folks who don't have complete Wayland compatibility yet.
  • Ubuntu is the popular, community-maintained Unity desktop built on top of Gnome. Some folks prefer this experience.
  • Ubuntu on Wayland is for folks who have complete Wayland compatibility.
