If I recall correctly, you can limit the form fields used by CFINSERT/CFUPDATE using the FORMFIELDS attribute. So that's not a big deal as long as those fields are explicitly specified. In general, unless you have control over coding standards in your organization, I suspect you're not going to win this battle. Personally, I don't like them and haven't used them outside of a classroom - and even then, that was many years ago - but I don't think there's a significant difference in performance or security. There may be a bit of a performance hit for CF to identify SQL data types, but I can't imagine that's significant.
