These days, it's usually faster to use indexed vertices. Strips and fans are faster because they reduce the number of vertices that need to be transformed by (and sent to) the hardware by "saving" 1 or 2 from the last triangle drawn. But modern cards have vertex caches that are much (!) larger than 1 or 2 entries. If someone wants to change the terrain format, I'd suggest trying indexed vertices first -- it's simpler, too.
