Need help to choose between friendly and unsafe overloads

Hello,
I'm in the process of converting all of my old code into CsWin32, but the presence of unsafe overloads makes me doubtful on what I should choose.
Are there any advantages with the unsafe versions (speed, memory usage etc) ?
I don't care if there is more code to write since all the needed apis will only be written once and exposed through my own wrapper.
What I really care is safety. A quick list of what to do and what to not do would be really appreciated and helpful for all the other users that are in the same boat and need to know if going unsafe or not when porting their old code.
Thanks
