systemd-networkd is sufficient, but is harder to configure and has a
more verbose configuration than netctl.  Especially if you want to
have DNS in that config too.

Netctl is really small and really simple.

The file in `/etc/netctl/` is damn close to the table you'd see in a
VPS control panel.  Make it simple.  (see attached screenshot of
winston.parabola.nu's VPS control panel side-by-side with the netctl
configuration)
