I decided to wait a few days so others that are sensitive or emotional about this issue could chime but it seems no one cares. So, I will chime in: No UEFI version punishes 10-25% performance. To be protected from all vulnerabilities from md and sp you need microcode updates too. The actual performance decreases, again synthetic only as you will never "feel" or "see" these differences, are between 0-7% at most (see source).
Speaking for Hero and Hero Alpha: If what you want is pre-targeted microcode update that would be 3401 (34 series). The best overall UEFI that is totally stable and also protected is 3801/3802 (38 series). I've been running 3801 on my Maximus VIII Hero Alpha for almost a year and it has been 100% stable and all features work (at least the features I use, not sure about junk some use but I don't). Good Luck!
