isDereferenceableAndAlignedPointer checks properties of the pointer. isSafeToLoadUnconditionally calls isDereferenceableAndAlignedPointer and also checks whether this pointer was dereferenced in current BB. So, isSafeToLoadUnconditionally is more powerful and must be used everywhere to check if the load can be speculated.
