Hello Vishal, The Electronic Frontier Foundation analysed many different communication technologies and build a scorecard: https://www.eff.org/secure-messaging-scorecard At the moment, they reevaluate the different options for secure communication. But the old one is available here: https://www.eff.org/node/82654 I trust that organisation in that field. But you have to decide that yourself.
As you can see, Signal got a very good rating as well as OTR for Pidgin, that uses Jabber. I think it depends on your platform and needs. -Everyone can run a jabber server an you could run the communication through tor and hidden services. So you are independent from a company, that runs the servers for you. There are many implementations of jabber and OTR for many operating systems. And you don't need third party services on your device. With jabber you are very independent but you need a server address and a username of your contact for the communication. -Signal uses a centralized server structure and the push message functionality of Android or IOS. Therefor you need the Google Play Services installed on your Android device. I don't know wich services of IOS are used for push messages. You can use telephone numbers to send messages and don't have to know a server address or a username. I hope that my answer helps you to understand the different approach of both techniques. If your question was aimed at the mathematical background of the used encryption techniques, key-exchange-algorithms or anything like that, it gets "a little bit" complicated. But the most important thing is, that both use well known end-to-end encryption, document their security design and are open to independent code audits.
