Does it really matter?  Both are going to be very fast relative (seconds) to
the other work involved (days, months) so it is a moot point.

Sometime you are going to have to get the bootloader program onto the chip
so some sort of programmer is required.  If your project is going to have a
serial port on it anyway go for the bootloader, otherwise use the ICSP.
