EF Where(x => x.ColumnVal == 1) vs FirstOrDefault(x => x.Column == 1)

Question

I had a LINQ query that loads a hierarchy of objects like the following.

Query #1

var result = db.Orders
               .Include(\"C         


        

Answer 1

I think best would be to use ...Where(condition).Take(1).FirstOrDefault() because Take(1) can be easily translated to SQL as a TOP clause. Anybody with me?
