The latter is probably preferable if you have a lot of code - large chunks of code appearing 100 times will make a very large AMX file! Macros tend to be used for very small bits of code - calling a function takes time, so if you have very tiny code it's not really worth the effort of calling a function, but this is not a rule! If you used a function instead of the macros above, the code compiled would look like:
