From my experience, mono black can be faster (first turn kill is possible with ritual), but b/u is more likely to bounce back from disruption/counters. There's some really good articles in the extreme vintage forums, check em out.

I don't think that there is an overall most powerful version - it really depends on your metagame. Mono-B is by far the slowest but has the best mana base, so it can survive lots of non-basic hate. It is also the least flexible deck, without good answers for a number of hosers (which might or might not be present in your metagame). U/B is the fastest, but you are more vulnerable to non-basic hate; 5-color Dragon maximizes flexibility, but at the cost of having a poor mana base.
Other than the color choices, there are a wide range of card choices for the deck, with some choices being better or more optimal than others. The card choices are presented and discussed in detail in the Dragon primer in the extreme vintage forum.
