self-hosted on a $40 digital ocean droplet performance is practically speaking indistinguishable from
Github.
No idea what gitlab.com is like, we picked gitlab because we could self-host.

I maintained a (small) instance for a few years and never ran into any issues, all you need to do is upgrade the package through APT/yum etc. There's also support for zero-downtime upgrades [1] but I haven't tried it yet.
