I think the question can be made a bit more broad - what is better:
1) <cfinvoke component="test" method="x">
or
2) <cfset x = createObject("component","test")>
<cfset y = test.foo()>
In general my feelings are that if you are going to do anything more
than call one method, you should use #2. It should be quicker (since you
have the object already), but more than that, it's handier to have the
object around I would think.
Of course, since CFCs have been out for just a little while now, what I
think makes sense now will probably change by next Tuesday. ;)
