Masquerading or SNAT?

jalil1408
This is my External interface settings:

Name: External
Type: DSL (PPPOE)
VDSL: 
Static PPPoE IP: 197.***.***.202/32
IPv4 Default GW: 

Which is best in terms of performance:

- Creating a Masquerading rule: 
Network: Internal (Network) 
Interface: External

OR

- Creating an SNAT rule: 
For traffic from: Internal (Network)
Using service: Any
Going to: Any
Change the source to: External (Address)
And the service to: 

?
