If you're doing a large comparison set, my understanding is that switch is better for performance.
As for cfset vs cfparam, cfset sets the variable and overwrites and previous value that the variable held. Cfparam sets the variable if it doesn't already exist. Basically, cfparam ensures that the variable has a value when you try to use the variable, however, if the variable is set elsewhere prior to the cfparam, the cfparam is ignored.
