There is no easy answer: on powerpc, readl is used for PCI,
while in_le32 is used for on-chip devices, so in_le32 is the
right one in principle. The main difference is that readl can
work with CONFIG_EEH on pseries, but in_le32 is cheaper.

On ARM and most other architectures, readl is used for both
PCI and on-chip devices, so that's what portable code tends
to use.

ioread32 is required to behave the same way as readl
on all __iomem pointers returned from ioremap(), but
is an extern function on powerpc and can be more
expensive when CONFIG_GENERIC_IOMAP is set.

I'd go with readl() in this case.
