One thing is for sure. There are many, many years of experience with
firebird on this list. Personally, after over 25 years with FB, If there
were any significant differences between the states you are questioning, I
would certainly be using one rather than the other. But I don't think about
this aspect at all. There are far more important things to think about.
Firebird just works. My best advice at this juncture is to move on to
matters that make a difference.
