Answer 1

Performance measure here: :)==> http://jsperf.com/find-vs-descendant-selector

Seems like descendant way is lil faster but perform poorly in opera,

anyhoo in my opinion it doesn't matter :)

Hope this answers your question and see here Is .find() faster than basic descendant selecting method?
