There is no problem about using direct SQL queries, if you are 100% sure which database tables you'd read or update. Most common issue here would be missing some tables to update, leading to data inconsistence

Using Magento models performs slower, but you don't have to mind which database tables might be involved in your operation

  • Given Magento's EAV structure, it's really easy to corrupt the database if you don't do your homework when you create your direct SQL data inserts.
