One thing is to load it to the max. Another thing is to have the possibility to load it to the max.
If you use a more lightweight torrent program, you will still have the same powerful machine, but it won't run on 100% load all the time, meaning more resources are avalible for other tasks (for example XBMC).
I would be abit careful with both of your options mentioned if you plan having the NUC run on max load all the time.
Atleast pay attention to the temperatures (and compare them to the temperatures the NUC can handle mentioned in the documentation).
