I haven't noticed ANY performance hit by skipping in and out of PHP and HTML
when it suits me.
I imagine there *might* be a slight performance hit if you were building a
LOT of table information with print or echo or printf, but the general
answer to your question is usually "whatever suits you better".
You could run some comparison tests with a microtimer to see what happens...
I doubt on a 50-100K HTML page that you could notice the difference, unless
the site or server got S**TLOADS of hits.
