I think that there's a very interesting amount of features on the actual
calendar system BUT the other one works on Safari as well as the other
browsers, even though it has less features.

Feature-wise, I prefer the first.  Here in .br the amount of Macs is very
small to "worry" with them on a public site to abdicate of certain things.  

On the other hand, I prefer having this audience as well.  So, I'd really like
the first one fixed to work with Safari -- or having Safari fixed, what would
be much better since I believe this will not be the only place where that will
happen.

Both are external code, so it depends on their authors...  We just have an
integration layer through the calendarpickerwidget.  At least, that's what
I've seen so far...

Not if the calendarpicker can detect the browser and enable the one with more
features for browsers other than Safari and use the one with less features
just to workaroung this bug.  The decision is not on the user's (developer's,
in this case) hands.

I see that as a good decision to keep both and wrap them until the one with
more features or Safari gets fixed...
