The parsing will be a trivial part of the overall query time, so small that I wouldn't worry about it in the least. I'd concentrate on doing the thing that takes the least maintenance.
In the examples you're positing, it's not at all clear you could even measure the difference... Do what's easiest, *then* optimize if necessary...
