The second option is gnutls, which is various flavors of GPL and LGPL,

preferred over openssl, though.  Can anyone answer that question?

You answered that just below; because OpenSSL is GPL incompatible.
Since gnutls is LGPL, it can be used in most places openssl can be used,
*plus* it can be used with GPL software.

If I understand
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=986347
correctly, gnutls 3.x can no longer be used by GPLv2-only code.
