Kurt Spencer (aka KdotJPG) has clearly given this a lot of thought, and he offers users of his [libraries](https://github.com/KdotJPG/OpenSimplex2) the choice of implementations and variants. Actual choice of noise depends on the application, and for that choices are not solely made on the basis of isotropy. Performance especially for animations is a major consideration. I use his libraries for noise in my [ruby-processing implementations](https://discourse.processing.org/t/uniformly-distributed-perlin-noise/31768/3).
