To be honest, I never consider Boss Rush for items alone. Unless you have a lot of speed AND high DPS you won’t make it in 20 minutes, and even if you’re strong enough you need to skip a lot of opportunities (secret, cursed and challenge rooms, at the very least) just to gain two items from treasure item pool which is… not great. Every time I enter Boss Rush I just look at the items and am like “ugh, okay. I’ll pick the least underwhelming one.”
Hush gives you more time and is more viable to do consistently but the fight itself is way too tough to justify the (pretty neat ngl) rewards of Hush’s floor. I don’t do Hush unless I’m after the unlock.

DPS is more important I’d say but high speed helps when you hit every deadend on your way through a comically large Caves 2.
