Has more image manipulating functions than you'll ever use. You name, and there's function to do it. GD is faster than ImageMagik, so if you can do it with that, keep on. ImageMagick is only useful for the extra functionality it brings to the table.

Umm I don't think there is any benchmark tests that will suit your case, it really depends on what you are going to do to the image. I suggest you to benchmark and measure these things, I also know codeigniter has a built-in image editing class, and as far as I remember you can choose in your config files whether to use imagemagick or GD.
