my .02 - First I doubt any of this matters in your case.

If you have a large data set with a large index then I believe using seeks are faster. The problem is that a view will download the entire index first (across the network) and then process the request. If you seek, the index data is transfered until it finds the seek info. At least that has been my experience. I maintain a 1.6 gig table with a large index and seeks worked about 50 times faster.
