Answer 1

ArrayBlockingQueue will probably be faster as you do not need to create link nodes on insertion. Note, however, that ArrayBlockingQueue is of a fixed length, if you want your queue to grow arbitrarily large (at least to Integer.MAX_INT) you will have to use a LinkedBlockingQueue (unless you want to allocate an array of Integer.MAX_INT elements).
