The Verdict
Use Euler Criterion if: You want it is particularly useful in implementing cryptographic protocols like rsa or elliptic curve cryptography, where determining quadratic residues modulo primes is essential for key generation and security analysis and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Legendre Symbol if: You prioritize g over what Euler Criterion offers.
