Your phone will be no less secure, as long as you use a good superuser app

This is factually incorrect and a dangerous statement. Your phone will be insecure, because you will have your bootloader unlocked - anyone can boot into that subsystem and access/alter the OS. It's not a deal breaker for most, but some countries can become dangerous. Tread with caution.
