I'm not sure if Omni builds on Lineage, but they don't use any closed source Sony stuff, I think.
The open camera drivers bring a great performance increase in shutter response, but a pretty bad decrease in low-light performance.
The build I'm using has some annoying issues like a barely working fingerprint scanner and Bluetooth audio, but even with that it is less irritating than Sony's to me. I assume both are fixable fairly easy (I'm waiting for Pie builds).
The official Sailfish OS builds come with an Android app runtime (Alien Dalvik), I think, but it may be missing some security features.
I'm not sure if it uses the official Sony camera drivers, information about this seems to be conflicting. Maybe both are available, if Sailfish utilizes Android drivers.
