The vanilla sources are the unmodiffied sources from kernel.org. These are plain kernel sources without any speed hacks or anything like that. Gentoo-sources on the other hand have optimizations and other stuff which makes them faster. However, because of these enhancements some small problems _might_ occur. I recommend you try the gentoo-sources and if your system works fine, use them. Otherwise try other sources. The vanilla sources are perhaps the ones with the lowest performance, but greatest stability (in some areas).
