Arguably neither is particularly secure, but you must have an IP so only needing to trust one of them seems better.

To be pedantic for a moment, ARIN etc. are registries.
The registrar is your ISP, cloud provider etc.
You can get a PI (Provider Independent) allocation for yourself, usually with the assistance of a sponsoring registrar. Which is a nice compromise way of cutting out the middleman without becoming a registrar yourself.
