The output should be exactly the same (lossless compression will decompress to the exact same values as uncompressed). In terms of performance it should be pretty similar. Lossless files are smaller (so faster to read) but require decompression (so they will use a little bit more CPU). The difference should be negligible and I don't see any reason to ever use uncompressed files when losslessly compressed ones are available.
