The most important factor is to choose a method that makes the source code clear and correct. With integer or scaled integer calculations, you often need to be much more careful about picking your types carefully, and ordering your calculations in order to avoid overflow. And your code can easily be filled with extra shifts and scalings, or hard-to-read code using function notation instead of arithmetic operators (unless you are using a language that support operator overloading).
