What is the best source for Tor/Orweb?

Hello everybody,
I'm still new to Jolla and Sailfish and hope you can help me with this.
I want to use Tor/Orweb on my Jolla 1 (Sailfish 2.0.0.10 Saimaa) and searched around for a while now. Looks like there are three options:
1) NielDK's version on openrepos (https://openrepos.net/content/nieldk/tor)
2) getting Orweb from F-Droid (I have already installed F-Droid from the Jolla Store)
3) going to the official Tor website and download the Android version
Which option do you guys recommend? Are there pro's and con's on one of the three?
If openrepos is recommended, I would like to know if there is a way to verify the integrity of the file (I found no checksums there). I have also noticed that the most recent version dates to September of 2015. Can I update to a newer version after I have installed it or is it okay to use a version that is more than one year old?
I should also mention that a system update is available for my device (to Sailfish 2.0.5.6 Haapajoki). Should I install that before getting Tor/Orweb or afterwards?
Thank you in advance. Greets

Is there a way to verify the integrity of these files? Neither openrepos nor gitweb seems to offer checksums or anything similiar.
