The performance differences are small. | |

Related, also you can 'chain' locals with With, e.g. With[{a = 2}, {b=a^2}, {c=b^2}, c]

I'd say With outermost and Module as inner as possible, even if that means using nested Withs. (Reason: immutable beats mutable.) And avoid Block unless you know why you must use it. But I'll listen to whatever the CS guys have to say.
