Most Efficient Sprites Question

[NakedApe]

As I continue to have fun writing 2D games with lots of action, Asteroid-esque space stuff, I'm wondering:

What's the most efficient / fastest approach to moving arrays of objects around the screen in QB64PE?

A. Programatically generated images on the fly for fairly simple things?
B. Manipulating strings with DRAW commands, VARPTR$...?
C. Using small images, say 40x40, with _PUTIMAGE commands, _ROTATEIMAGE ()...?


Thanks, and have a great weekend, everybody.
