Just for information: Libuuid's origin is within the e2fsprogs package. 
Since util-linux-ng 2.16? it is also part of that package. I guess the 
goal is to remove libuuid from e2fsprogs and maintain it in ulng.

Recently, both packages provide a plausible libuuid. Both can be used. 
Since many emebedded developers will always use busybox (which provides 
blkid - 3rd? fork of beside e2fsprogs and ulng?) it may be better to 
provide libuuid by e2fsprogs - so you do not need to select another 
package.
If the devleopment goes on, ulng might become the leading 
implementation. So this version should be selectable, too.

Using both versions at the same time does not look reasonable to me.
