I have asked myself this question too and posed a similar point (is using Cake tags ultimately slower than straightforward html? to which the answer was 'probably, yes'). However, I have adopted the Cake tag route throughout because (i) it provide consistency, (ii) it means I am not jumping in and out of PHP and (iii) it just feels 'safer' - pass in the right options and out pops the right html. I guess it's a matter of choice?
