OK, I'm talking from SQL Server experience here

Stored Procedures are faster as it's "compiled" the SQL

Views are faster than straight SQL as it already knows the SQL

Be VERY careful of the results from SQL Server Views; sometimes they go
corrupt and return nothing, so rebuild them (fairly) often - it's rather
embarrasing when your site is returning no data, you've checked the
database, only to find out that the View is corrupt and it's the only
thing wrong!
