In general you'll find SQL links to be faster

> 2.  Is one less reliable/less buggy than the other?

My impression (my experience is limited to only a couple of platforms)
both work very well.  ODBC, which I use daily, does have some annoying
limitations with the back end I use in my regular work(an AS/400);
native drivers will of course have far better support for unique native
capabilities than ODBC.

> 3.  Is there a difference in the simplicity between them.

Not much.  Both require some setup on the client side.  Neither is
particularly hard.
