In practice both will be fine for those activities listed.
The Kif system what Rolex used for decades,and others like the Incabloc are just shock protection systems,much like the now in-house Rolex Paraflex system and basically they all do the same job.Its the same with the hairsprings parachrom in the real world would doubt if the average wearer would find any real major difference.Now if the movement is correctly regulated there is no reason than say one movement with the parachrom and paraflex,will perform any better that one with the KIF shock and Nivarox hairsprings.The ETA 2824 is a great movement especially the top chronometer grade, and in all its forms have powered countless millions of watches over the production years.
