I like QtQuick.LightControls.

In general, since both sets are drastically different (in way they
look like, in the way they perform, in styling capabilities, etc.) I
do not think giving them similar names (Controls 1 and Controls 2) is
a good idea - it may strongly confuse the users. Not everybody follows
the mailing list and blog, so if you name them similarly you can
expect a flood of questions like "I'm trying to use the new Controls,
but X does not work, and Y looks different, while Z can't read my
style definition" etc.
