I can only speak so intelligently about it. I've only used Indiegogo. But my inclination is that the platform won't make that much of a difference. It has more to do with marketing hard and marketing it in the right way. It's the thing I took to heart a long time ago: don't expect to build it and have them come running. 95% of the time it doesn't work that way.
Read all the articles you can about it, if you haven't already. Crowdfunding is a long, tiring process. And a lot of the most successful ones work their but off promoting it to get 10% of their goal, then take that 10% and quickly hire a PR company to help them achieve big success. I'm not saying you have to do it that way. But that is the feeling I get after going through one Indiegogo (raising 28%, over $7k) and now in the middle of my second.
