Answer 1

As most have stated, the selector you use can have an effect on performance, but it is often negligible, and more a matter of style and readability. Bottom line, jQuery will create a unique handler for every element that is selected, either individually by id or using a multi-select method like a class or attribute selector. Personally, I like your first example, as it will cover future additions to your view without need to remember to add another handler.
