Nothing is better than taking actual measurements.  This is what I observe:

Benchmark #1: git clone git://gitlab.denx.de:60010/u-boot.git
  Time (mean ± σ):     35.970 s ±  3.251 s    [User: 23.771 s, System: 3.932 s]
  Range (min … max):   32.600 s … 41.274 s    10 runs
 
Benchmark #2: git clone https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git
  Time (mean ± σ):     35.377 s ±  2.769 s    [User: 24.838 s, System: 5.205 s]
  Range (min … max):   31.744 s … 39.598 s    10 runs
 
Summary
  'git clone https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git' ran
    1.02 ± 0.12 times faster than 'git clone git://gitlab.denx.de:60010/u-boot.git'

(Ignore the git:// URL, it was just temporary for testing)

As you can see, speed-wise there is next to no difference.  BUT https is
encrypted while git is not and https works better with proxy madness.
So I would definitely choose https.
