I'm ashamed to admit this, but I come from PHP, where there is (or used to be) a subtle performance hit when using double-quotes. It was explained to me as being similar to the difference between a .html and .php file to the Apache server -- the former requires no introspection, just find it and serve it, while the latter requires careful inspection and delegation. I tend to use single-quotes unless I want to use interpolation.
