Comment:
I'd argue that OpenSSL is safer, since it just gets a lot more attention and audit nowadays. Since heartbleed a lot of attention has gone to OpenSSL, it's probably one of the better-audited projects nowadays.

The performance increase on non-x86_64 platforms is not "potential", it's there; OpenSSL has optimized assembly code for most architectures, in addition to plain C fallbacks - LibreSSL does not have them, they all got dropped with the exception of the x86_64 ones.

So, +1 from me.
