As much as I love the elite-upside and potential of a guy like Markstrom, I would still take Mike Smith for a couple reasons.
As Pengwin said, Mike Smith is the proven entity and he's playing in a very favorable defensive system right now.
Next, the thing about Markstrom is that he is still a "dynamic entity" (as Justin Goldman would say), thus he will have quite a challenge adapting to the NHL once its shooters have learned his tendencies and adjusted to him. Once he is no longer a dynamic entity, anything is possible (see: Mason, Steve).
Smitty is the guy for me.
