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.
