After reading the Useful Snippets thread today, I got totally confused with the pros & cons of defines and constants.

So, I'm looking for an answer to this question: Which code below is better and why?

#define THIS "this or that"

main()
{
    new string[128], rand = random(100);

    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like " THIS " a lot also I like the number %d.", rand);
    print(string);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like " THIS " a lot also I like the number %d.", rand);
    print(string);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like " THIS " a lot also I like the number %d.", rand);
    print(string);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like " THIS " a lot also I like the number %d.", rand);
    print(string);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like " THIS " a lot also I like the number %d.", rand);
    print(string);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like " THIS " a lot also I like the number %d.", rand);
    print(string);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like " THIS " a lot also I like the number %d.", rand);
    print(string);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like " THIS " a lot also I like the number %d.", rand);
    print(string);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like " THIS " a lot also I like the number %d.", rand);
    print(string);
}

static const THIS[] = "this or that";

main()
{
    new string[128], rand = random(100);

    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like %s a lot also I like the number %d.", THIS, rand);
    print(string);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like %s a lot also I like the number %d.", THIS, rand);
    print(string);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like %s a lot also I like the number %d.", THIS, rand);
    print(string);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like %s a lot also I like the number %d.", THIS, rand);
    print(string);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like %s a lot also I like the number %d.", THIS, rand);
    print(string);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like %s a lot also I like the number %d.", THIS, rand);
    print(string);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like %s a lot also I like the number %d.", THIS, rand);
    print(string);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like %s a lot also I like the number %d.", THIS, rand);
    print(string);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "I like %s a lot also I like the number %d.", THIS, rand);
    print(string);
}

Edit: Silly me, fixed the examples.
