Styles, since they're native code that gets run, as opposed to interpreted 
from a parsed stylesheet. Of course, it requires that your write good and 
efficient code.

Stylesheets, since it's just a a simple CSS-like file or snippet, no new code 
to write or maintain.

Styles, since they can change just about anything, and given enough hacks, 
everything else.

My opinion is "do neither, just use the platform look and feel". This is an 
*opinion* -- I don't like applications with custom look and feel, I like them 
to integrate with the desktop UI.
