I'm using CM13 nightlies and my G2 is performing like a beast (besides minor bugs due to the nature of nightlies) I haven't used the droid maxx 1 besides in a display model but I would go for the g2 personally, just add a good case as when the screen breaks the touch too goes with it (~$50 for a new screen). I have a small tpu case from diztronic on mine and I have no issues so far
