Which one?

Now, if you make the schema name the same as the user name, it will do
what you want --- that's what the $user is for. If you want some other
schema that happens to belong to that user to be the default, you have
to adjust the normal value of search_path. (See ALTER USER SET if you'd
like that adjustment to be done for you automatically at each login.)
