Both are reliable. The only airline I'd avoid right now out of KUL is Malindo (OD) due to their delays.
If you are staying in Kuala Lumpur, you can also fly out of SZB (Subang Airport) which is closer to the city. Firefly (subsidiary of MH) and Malindo offers nonstop SZB-Langkawi flights.
However, SZB doesn't have a direct rail link to the city and you have to rely on taxis/grab/uber (very cheap). Depending on the time of your flight, the train to KUL can be faster than your taxi ride to SZB. I'd avoid weekday flights between 1700-2000 from SZB because getting to SZB at that time is a huge pain (or KUL for that matter unless you are staying close to KL Sentral station).
