$('#id tag') vs. $('#id').find('tag') - which is preferable?

Viewed 31805

I want to know which option is better, particularly in terms of their speed:

$('#id tag')...

or

$('#id').find('tag')...

Also, would the same answer apply if you change id and/or tag to, say, a class or something like input:checked?

For example, which is better: $('#id input:checked')... or $('#id').find('input:checked');?
