It really depends on the use case.  chrony seems to pick a "best"
source and try really really hard to track that one true source.  ntpd
tries to intelligently track multiple sources at a time.

For a stratum 2/3 box that just tracks internet sources only, I've had
pretty good luck using chrony instead of ntpd.  For a stratum 1 box
that tracks a single GPS/PPS source, it probably would work great for
that too.  For a local stratum 2 that tracks just local stratum 1s,
that would probably be an excellent use case for ntpd.  For a local
stratum 3 that just tracks multiple local stratum 2s?  That would
probably be a good chrony use, as has temperature compensation.

It's hard to really be generic, this is one of those cases where
"test!" kind of applies.

I think chrony is better suitable to who wants more customization options,
such as faster pooling times, better delay calibrations and advanced
filtering settings (i dont know all on Openntpd nor chrony) but with my
experience with chrony i can say that chrony is good for my usages.
