Google's John Mueller said in a Reddit thread that while the index status report in the old Google Search Console and index coverage report in the new Google Search Console are the same, they are "complied slightly differently."

If you had to pick one to use only, John said "I'd use the new one, it's not only cooler, but also more useful."
Here is the old one:
