The joy of ZFS is that it takes just minutes to create various configurations and test them yourself. The pool design is a pretty fundamental decision whereas filesystems are easily tuned. The configuration with more vdevs should be both faster and more reliable. Zfs load shares across vdevs so with more vdevs, you can support more simultaneous users. Your entire pool will be no stronger than the weakest vdev, so make sure that your vdevs are sufficiently reliable.
