Yes, OpenSSL is surely the best choice for current applications, despite its
obvious drawbacks. That being said, Emacs shouldn't be tied down to OpenSSL,
just as it should not be tied down to GnuTLS. There is currently quite a bit of
interest in replacing OpenSSL with something better, and with luck we'll see
improvements in the not-too-distant future. We insulate Emacs users from this
turmoil as best we can.
Here's a useful paper for those of us not plugged into recent work in the area:
