Conditions Vs Elements

Hi guys,

Which is more efficient?

Using one RE with multiple states and conditions to determin the displayed data, or using multiple single-use elements, each with their own data displayed directly?

I have been working on the assumption that one RE with conditions is better, but I wanted to know for sure before I continue down this path.

i would assume using one RE with conditions is better because they consume more workload units and increase page load time.
