Preact, definitely. I'd say you can also use react with better CDN for serving media elements. If that's something you are planning on using.

I would say start with react and eject when you find preact is actually making your app faster.

Blazing fast in what sense? Creating nodes, Updating the ui, bundle size?

Both Preact and React are fast enough.

I will choose Preact, because is 3kb.

But if you want to use hooks with preact you have to install an unstable version preact@next because the stable version doesn't have them.

Preact entered beta a few weeks ago, and so far it's been quite stable. I'm using it for 2 projects - nothing to report bar one quirky TypeScript typing.
