Regardless of who implements it, the security should be the same, provided they implemented it well. Nobody in their right minds would attempt to break AES with bruteforce. Truecrypt was open source, and now Veracrypt is too. It has gone through rigorous tests. Bitlocker isn't. Even though they both use AES, we don't know if any of them have implemented it right. I put my bets on Veracrypt because its implementation is at least open source.Bitlocker is not available on Windows Home users, and come with a lot less portability. Veracrypt runs on almost anything you install it on (even on the ones without CPU AES-NI instructions), has a reasonably well key derivation mechanism, a bunch of features that Bitlocker doesn't offer, etc. I also read Bruce recommending Vera as well.</blockquote>
