I think it would be a no brainer that curl would be more robust considering the number of users to test it etc compared to libURL. Recently when working on mergTestApp I was getting a timeout with libURL and curl was going through fine. I didn't have time to debug the issue for such a simple little plugin so I just ran with curl. That's for upload though.
