Depends on the operation tbh, and whether the one or the other is a micro-optimization or actually significant. It's better to focus on high-level optimizations, core architecture decisions and the right algorithms than on an operation level. Unless those operations are executed billions of times and the difference becomes statistically significant, of course.
