Connecting to a db will (probably) take longer than most of those differences, let alone running a query & processing the results.

Ternaries that make a lot of people feel awesome because a lot is being accomplished in one line are also more opcodes than their if-else statement equivalents...and often times can be more confusing to future maintainers of the code.
