It depends on how you are using your scripts. The most "expensive" aspect of the files is the IO used to read them from the hard drive they reside on. If you are calling on the scripts multiple times and they have to be read each time, rather than being cached in memory, then you only want to read what is absolutely necessary. If one script always calls another then you are probably better having the subroutines, which would save IO.

Or perhaps these situations are equivalent. I apologize if I have just asked an unanswerable question.
