You should use an OpenGL build. It will produce a smaller "package"
(due to the fact that you won't have to ship ANGLE libs). You app
won't notice the difference as it's not using OpenGL at all (directly
or indirectly).

For more information, see
http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt-5-on-Windows-ANGLE-and-OpenGL .

I wonder if it would be possible to add that link to the download
page; ANGLE vs OpenGL is confusing so many users...
