What gauge is used in the Lagrangian for a non-relativistic point particle in an electromagnetic lagrangian?potential

For the electromagnetic lagrangianLagrangian $L = 1/2mu^2 - q(\phi - \frac{\vec A}{c}\cdot \vec u)$$$L = \frac{1}{2}mu^2 - q(\phi - \frac{\vec{A}}{c}\cdot \vec{u})$$ of a non-relativistic point particle in an electromagnetic potential, what gauge is used for Athe electromagnetic potential $\vec{A}$ and $\phi$?
