for god sakes. just test it! depends on the game. just use your brain and figure it out yourself. dont make other people think for yourself

opengl tends to be slower, but has a higher compatiblity
dx11 is still heavily being worked on but pretty good so far

they're two different apis. You can't compare speed because both will be written differently. Just choose which one fits your style of coding.
However, I doubt you're a coder. You're probably deciding which plugin right? For speed, use the dx9 plugin. The dx11 plugin isn't quite complete yet. Opengl is slower but more compatible.
