If I did the shorter connection, I would make sure to have a bag that didn't need to be gate checked.

My hesitation would be the fact that you're connecting to a transborder flight. DL considers there to be international, so the rule techinically is that you must be on board 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Obviously, this isn't usually enforced, but it could be if the flight were overbooked.
