radeon driver is default AFAIK on Ubuntu 16.04 for R7 360. Second option is amdgpu-pro driver available on AMD site.... these two are most easier to install, first you have by default and second should be easy to install/remove.
There are 2 more driver options actaully for R7 360 (catalyst and amdgpu), but require preparations/interventions on Ubuntu 16.04... changing, upgrading or even downgrading one or more OS components to make them work.Last edited by dungeon; 02 January 2018, 07:37 PM.

Which one of those will perform the best?

Catalyst and radeon are old approach drivers, newer mainstream ones nowdays are amdgpu and amdgpu-pro, so if you like newer then use one of these.Last edited by dungeon; 03 January 2018, 11:29 PM.
