 From what I understand the observatory just aims to use statistics 
generated to identify 'fake' or malicious ssl certs.

I would definitely enable https everywhere, and strongly consider 
observatory, but both are optional...

Both are by EFF, and they are pretty trustworthy, but if you know what 
you are doing then you can disable both and still have strong anonymity.
If you don't know what you are doing you can enable both of them and 
still be perfectly exposed.
