I personally think that Rust port of CPython has the bigger potential than PyPy.

Why? Isn't the clever bit the JIT, rather than the implementation language?
Why do you think so? Rust is an interesting language in itself, but I don't see why you'd expect a Rust port of CPython to compete with PyPy in terms of performance. It's still, at its core, the CPython architecture.
Does it aim for security and correctness? As the interpreter has hard time to keep up with JIT in the speed race which I believe is the major driving force behind PyPy.
