On tarmac you slow down faster with ABS. The friction is higher when the tires are _not_ sliding. Fastest deceleration happens just at the point before tires would start to slide.
On gravel/snow, ABS perfoms worse. But 99% of the time you likely are not in such a context.

In such situations, a locked tire digs into the snow or gravel, pushing it forward and forming a wedge in front of the tire, which brings the vehicle to a stop Source: https://itstillruns.com/do-brakes-work-ice-snow-6162289.html https://itstillruns.com/do-brakes-work-ice-snow-6162289.html
