if / else if / else is more flexible (hence better), but switch is slightly faster because it just computes the condition once and then checks for the output, while if has to do this every time. Without having to worry about the function being re-evaluated for every case. General rule is use switch whenever the number of conditions is greater than 3 (for readability). I think this fact needs a little bit more attention, so here's an example:
