Unless you already have a good working knowledge of OpenGL, then using a Canvas will be easier and faster. In terms of portability it really isn’t as clear cut.
That said you should probably consider using one the pre-existing game engines, if you really only about Android then you should check out http://www.andengine.org/ its a great engine with a strong community and lots of great little example games.
