Usually sub-queries are not the fastest way to do things.
When a developper is talking about doing things using cursors the big red light flashes : ho ho 3gl thinking ahead !

The only way to know for sure is to test them. Do not just check the elapsed time. I've tested 2 scenarios once and they were taking the same time but one was having twice the buffer gets than the other one.
