Which should I pick

If you are looking to play by yourself and don't want to use someone elses server you should follow the "I want to create a server" Executable guide to locally run your own server on the same computer.

If you are just planning on joining someone else on their server / an existing server you do NOT need to setup a server.

What is Pocket Relay​

Pocket Relay is a server designed to replicate official game server functionality, allowing you to enjoy Mass Effect 3 multiplayer independently of the official server. With Pocket Relay, you can create LAN games, play multiplayer offline, or even host your own public server.

When you set up your Pocket Relay server, you gain complete control over player inventories. This means you can experiment with equipment and characters you don't have on the official servers by unlocking and playing with them using Pocket Relay.

I Jacobtread created Pocket Relay as a side project exploring how I could play Mass Effect 3 by myself, it has since grown into an alternative to the official servers.
