Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods are some of the most accurate methods for simulating correlated electronic systems. We investigate the compatibility, strengths, and weaknesses of two such methods, namely, diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) and auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC). The multideterminant trial wave functions employed in both approaches are generated using the configuration interaction using a perturbative selection made iteratively (CIPSI) technique. Complete basis-set full configuration interaction energies estimated with CIPSI are used as a reference in this comparative study between DMC and AFQMC. By focusing on a set of canonical finite--size solid-state systems, we show that both QMC methods can be made to systematically converge towards the same energy once basis-set effects and systematic biases have been removed. AFQMC shows a much smaller dependence on the trial wave function than DMC while simultaneously exhibiting a much larger basis-set dependence. We outline some of the remaining challenges and opportunities for improving these approaches.
