Async and Thread are of different abstraction levels[1]. The easier to use, the higher the abstraction level. Rule of thumb: use the highest level of abstraction for your case. Of course, the Async implementation can be atrocious or in conflict with something already used by your code, forcing you to use a lower level of abstraction.
