I've never had any crashing or big issues with borg, and it's generally considered to be faster than restic. I'm sure there are more recent benchmarks, but as of Dec 2022, borg wins by a fair bit [1].
For installation, I set up a dedicated virtualenv for borg and borgmatic installation then symlink into /usr/local/bin. This is also automated with ansible and has worked on every distro and version I've used. The latest version does require python 3.9.0, but that's already 4 years old.

- k_g_b_ 2y agoAgreed on no crashing/issues. I always use the provided Borg "single binary" https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#pyinstaller-binary https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.htm... that unpacks everything into /tmp and naturally is larger than the restic binary. That isn't an issue on my systems. Restic has no unencrypted mode for reasons - you must use an empty password and additional flag instead. If your backups will already be encrypted in other ways you'll still pay encryption overhead.
