For one python-lsp-server is written in Python but pyright is written in TypeScript. Depending on how well you know each of the languages you may find it easier to contribute to one project or the other (but presumably it would be easier for target audience to contribute to python-lsp-server). pyright is a more recent server and has a strong emphasis on typing support (but you need to configure it to do so as the actual typing are only distributed in the closed-source pylance). Also pyright requires you to install node.js and npm, which is something that many users prefer to avoid. Finally before contributing to pyright you would need to sign a CLA with Microsoft, whereas python-lsp-server is more of an open source community supported project.

I think so. There are some other things to improve for signatures too, like recognising that signature overloading is now common in Python and sending these multiple signatures to the user instead of the first one only.
