Whats better , static or new ? - sKgaL - 15.07.2013

Hey,
Whats better for sending format messages (SendClientMessage) .

static or new ?

I understand that static value will forgotten after the code was done.
like :

Code:

if(dialogid == DIALOG_Login)
{
	static string[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
	format(string, sizeof(string),"%s",GetName(playerid));
	SendClientMessageToAll(-1,string);
}

So for the exmple that I showed here,
Do you prefer to use new and not static ?

By looking at SA:MP Wiki - https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/Scripting...s#static_local

static_local seems to be more effective than 'new' ,
because its forgets it's old value..

And by my way of thinking -
Less values = Less memory (?) ;
