I am about to go in for our 4th replacement iPhone 5S's since last Thursday tonight due to WiFi and now no cellular service on one of them.
I refuse to update our iPad Minis until iOS 8.1 is updated.
Strange, my 5s on 8.1 works perfectly...speed, wifi, smooth as silk
works perfectly fine on my 5s as well.
Much better than iOS 8. Not as stable as iOS 7 was though.
Apple have fixed a couple of bugs/crashes I kept getting.

Works fine on my 5s. Lagging was pretty much gone by 8.0.2, and 8.1 seems to have solved the Bluetooth issues. Occasional crashes from apps that had always given me problems. Otherwise, none of the random reboots that I had with iOS 7.0 to 7.0.3. On my phone, the performance and stability are at least on par with 7.1.2.
I generally prefer to do the updates using iTunes, and I also restore my phone to factory settings prior to any major interval updates (8.1 would be one of them). If everything checks out, then I restore my apps, settings, and data from a local backup using iTunes.

8.1 is still a bit spotty on my 5S. I see dropped frames here and there (settings mostly). The actual hardcore bugs from 8.0 are mostly gone but I see some artifacts here and there. Overall worse performance than 7.1.2 for though for sure. Not even a moderate amount of difference, but slight.*

My daughter has the 5s and she says it's working perfectly with the latest OS.
Works fine for me on my 5s,had problems with 8.0 but all seems good now I have 8.1 on it (about 4 days ago).
No problems with my ipad 3 either with 8.1 so much smoother than 8.0.

Try resetting all settings and a hard reset for the 5s not cooperating. Then setup the phone's settings like you normally do. Hope this helps.
IOS 8.1 works really well on my iPhone 5S, also. I did a clean install. Everything is very smooth. Battery life is much better.
