Either .gnus or .gnus.el will work fine.  If you have a .gnus.el, you
can byte-compile it, and your .gnus.elc will get used instead.  But on
modern hardware, the minimal performance you'll get out of that isn't
worth the effort of actually running the byte-compile and the
aggravation of having an out-of-date copy used preferentially.

(I believe for similar reasons you could have a .emacs.el/.emacs.elc,
but don't really want to these days.)
