2) If chipram bandwidth is low, ROM functions are indeed faster, but if your screenmode leaves enough room for the cpu (and on AGA that's at lower resolutions mostly the case) that argument is also void.
So, I'd say it comes down to your personal preferences.

Just as I thought reallly, thanks
PS this makes me sad: "As there will be no new Amiga chipsets, that reason is not valid anymore."
