In most cases, List<T> is more useful. LinkedList<T> will have less cost when adding/removing items in the middle of the list, whereas List<T> can only cheaply add/remove at the end of the list.
LinkedList<T> is only at it’s most efficient if you are accessing sequential data (either forwards or backwards) – random access is relatively expensive since it must walk the chain each time (hence why it doesn’t have an indexer). However, because a List<T> is essentially just an array (with a wrapper) random access is fine.
