I don't see think this is an either/or question. A good array library ought to provide BLAS, Lapack, FFTW etc. bindings *and* allow writing high-performance code in pure Haskell. I haven't implemented any of these bindings for vector only because I'm still deciding what to do with multidimensional arrays.
