If you're referring to a thumb-break inhibiting speed of draw the difference is negligible.

The problem is holstering.

The thumb-break effectively blocks access to the mouth of the holster that in most cases requires the use of the support hand to "clear a path" for the muzzle to enter the holster. The tendency is to cover the support hand with the muzzle.

If your primary mode of carry is CC, I'd opt for the open top version.
