ABS will be slower. If you can hold the brakes just below the point of engaging ABS, you will be using as much of the tire's traction as possible to slow the car down and the brake pads will be a steady pressure on the rotors. You're basically at the maximum effective braking ability of the car.
If you brake hard enough to engage ABS, it will pulse the brakes, repeatedly locking them up and releasing them. It isn't smooth and could upset the car if you're in a turn. Plus since you're repeatedly losing traction, you're not slowing down as effectively as you would if you had traction the entire time. Longer braking times mean shorter acceleration times means longer lap times.
