If you want to do a longer recording and you want to keep the whole thing (or substantially the whole thing), QuickTime Player is better. I also use, and love, ScreenFlow for doing screen cast type videos. The difference is, I'm not going to leave QuickTime Player or ScreenFlow recording all day because of disk space concerns.
As for 10.11, it probably would work if I just changed the target OS, but for a little side project I didn't feel like going through the trouble with testing 3 operating systems.
