I would avoid syslog. The protocol does not handle multiline messages (stack traces) etc. gracefully since it's purely line-based. It's also very hard to encode application specific fields into syslog. However, it's a good idea to pick (or design) something based on which fields traditional log daemons use - either based on syslog, or based on systemds journal. (which, btw. does not suffer from any multiline issues)
