XF 1.5 Performance difference for PHP redirects vs htaccess?

[Peace]

I'm migrating from vB4 and I'll be importing with retained content IDs, so I can use htaccess redirects.

I've also come across PHP redirects.

Is there any advantage, performance or SEO or otherwise, to choosing PHP redirects vs htaccess redirects?

Thanks!

htaccess redirects are faster and the right way to do SEO wise.
You can also move them to httpd.conf for even better performance.

+1, doing redirects before you hit PHP will always be faster
