OPSEC Clear URL vs Onion URl

Hello, So lets say im using tor messenger or whonix gateway. Does it make any difference if i connect to a services clear web address or onion url. So for example say i was using tor messenger. Calyx Institute has a clear url and an onion url. Does it make any difference from OPSEC which url you use... Thanks

[2 Points] None:

General consensus is that you'll be more secure using the .onion url because traffic is encrypted end-to-end and you never leave the tor network. We don't know what kind of attacks (theoretical or otherwise) there are on tor besides those which have been released. It's the same gamble you take with using bridges/not using bridges and using obfsproxy or not, etc. If someone wants you bad enough and they have the time and resources, they'll probably be able to get you.

tl;dr onion url is safer.
