Jasmine rice goes with pretty much any rice dish that you’d want to make.
Basmati is just weird with East Asian cuisine. Also impossible to eat with chopsticks.

I like basmati with chopsticks.

I disagree, Basmati is less starchy and remain in grain form compared to the mush of Jasmine rice if you put too much water in.
Not that the above matters since I cook on the hob and have prefected eyeballing the water level.
My preference is due to the texture and aroma of Basmati and I go through 10 kg bags (live alone!) every 2 1/2 months.
I use Jasmine rice solely for congee and Basmati for everything else!

Different rice for different courses.
