I have been trying to find out which one is better in terms of server load or generation time but cant seem to find it on the web. Most I see is quility of image or personal preference.
I have no idea about load time, perhaps GD is faster due to being bundled with PHP, but as far as usefulness I like ImageMagick a lot better. It handles far more file types (like GIFs) and there are a few options in the admin panel (mainly in Gallery, but also in Links I think) marked as ImageMagick only.
