I would say both are fine, it just depend of what you are used to.
Personally, I have a Gateway and doesn't have any reason to change as it works fine, so I'm keeping it. But if I was a more recent 3DS owner, I would have probably installed A9LH+Luma directly, as it's free.
About the boot rate, it's not a big problem if you, like me, often keep the 3DS in sleep mode when you know you'll play it again soon.
(But even if I have a Gateway, I only use .cia files)
