I have the following two implementation techniques in mind.

print check
OR
structure = ["hello, there",,"!!!"]
def myfunc(mystring):
structure[2] = mystring
output = ''.join(mystring)
i heard that string concatenation is very slow in python; so should i
go for the second approach? could someone tell me why? Would there be
another 'best-practice-style'?
Please help. Thankx in advance!
cheers!!!

The best practice is to care more about your coding style (i.e. how you
make your code easy to read & understand) than pointless speed optimization.
If you *really* care about speed, maybe you shoud use something else
than python.
def myfunc(mystring):
check = "hello, there %s !!!" % mystring
print check
