I really like Cavern Rogue and played it a lot with good success, but I don't ladder enough to reach legend. That said, while I'd say they are both fast, I would say Aggro Murloc Pally is perhaps the more well rounded deck from what I've read.
I would check these links out while you wait for others to pitch in their two cents.
In this link there is a match up chart calculated from a large pool of recorded games. Look at both of the rows for the decks you are interested in (Cavern Rogue and Murloc Paladin). Do you see green squares in the columns for match ups you see often at your current rank? If so, then that particular deck archetype could work for you. If you see a red, then the match up is harder, and that should influence your choice because making it to legend requires you to play to the meta you are currently seeing.

Speaking purely from my personal experience, I played a lot of both last season and whether or not you can hit ladder with quest rogue depends on how the meta feels. When I hit rank 5 with it last month it got really hard to climb any further, since I was seeing a ton of pirate warrior and aggro druid, which are borderline unwinnable matchups. I switched to an aggro/midrange murloc hybrid deck and was able to reach legend without too much difficulty.
Basically I'd say that if you're noticing a lot of midrange or control quest rogue should do the trick, but if there's a lot of aggro or the meta seems too diverse for you to feel confident one way or the other, the paladin deck is more well-rounded. Your matchups are a lot closer to 50/50, but there aren't any decks that slaughter you. Quest rogue is a very 70/30 30/70 kind of deck in terms of its matchups, so really what you see a lot of will determine if it's good.
which is a faster and more consistent (better) deck to hit legend with?
Quest Rogue seems to be more consistent, especially since a lot of important Murloc's moved out of Standard.

Ooooh...Stat porn :)
Thanks for posting these links!
Better to be the hammer than the anvil or the metal shaped between.

Nothing doing, traveler.

Pala....quest rogue is really boring to play with in my opinion.
