I don't think performance will be much different but if so, UFS1 would be (sightly) faster than UFS2 because one page read will get more inodes from disk and 32 bit (UFS1) arithmetic may be slightly faster than 64 bit (UFS2). If performance is an issue, consider turning off atime updates or even mount the filesystem read-only if possible.
