Since Fedora took the decision to drop support for ARM < 7, all Fedora
packages are now built armv7hl, with hard float and vfpv3 support,
compiler flags '-march=armv7-a -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 -mfloat-abi=hard'. 

The Community Squeeze repo packages are built, armv7hnl, (with hard
float and neon support), compiler flags '-march=armv7-a -mfpu=neon
-mfloat-abi=hard'. Hard float is the biggest gain. There isn't much to
be had, vfpv3 -> neon, but I do have some "back of a cigarette packet"
encoding/decoding numbers for ffmpeg, when built with '-mfpu=neon' and
'--enable-neon' passed to configure when building it, which suggest that
there is a benefit, so we rebuild the rpmfusion ffmpeg srpm '--target
armv7hnl', and push that to the CS repo, which then is downloaded in
preference to a 'armv7hl' ffmpeg package from rpmfusion when the target
platform has neon support.

Whatever you go with, choose hard float, don't worry about the vfpv3 or
neon.
