Controller & Marlin vs smoothie

[Siddharth Valambhia]

I am building pnp & I had collected most of mechanical items and also electronics to build pnp. I am having mechanical background so I am bit confused which hardware and which firmware I should use.

I have btt skr v1.4 laying & due + shield with me which is best hardware ? BTT skr v1.4, unlike skr v1.3 it does not have smoothieware, but it came with marlin. I had asked btt for flash and config file or procedure but they said they don't have any. I had notices some people in group have configured smoothieware on skr v1.4. 

Openpnp github suggest smoothieware while in this forum people says marlin has more speed (& also much better tutorials & possibly future updates). I am concern about speed and firmware should support adding camera,feeder etc without much coding.

There is also a port of RepRapFirmware for the SKR boards, see https://github.com/gloomyandy/RepRapFirmware/blob/v3.02-dev-unified/README.md, although I am not yet aware of anyone using RRF on SKR with OpenPNP.
