Depends what you want. All the CMSs mentioned have at least some features you might not necessarily need. If you want an application that performs a relatively simple task then it makes far more sense to code it yourself, especially if that task can't be done in a CMS.
Assuming it's competently written it's likely to be faster because it's not loading a bunch of crap you don't need.
As for security, it works both ways. I'm all for open source, but it allows anyone, good or bad, to analyse the code and spot weaknesses. Write your own code and nobody can comb through it or run it on their server at home trying to find ways to hack it.

That would be open source code, surely? If you mean encoded PHP, you have to be out of your mind to use encoded scripts from someone else. Even open source is risky, depending on where you get it from.
