File Pros:
- Using files can be much faster than using db
- Including files in them selves do not add to the memory
- Best when used for application scripts and binary data files
File Cons:
- Managing tons of files can become a quick nightmare
- Possible for permissions to be switched causing errors
- May have additional errors reading a file when a file lock is in place from another instance
- Insecure, can be deleted or edited by anyone with FTP access
Db Pros:
- Easy to manage
- Quick and easy to query data even when using conditional arguments
- Data is more secure and more protected
Db Cons:
- Can slow down processing if db queries are not effecient and/or cached and multiple
- Storing binary data can cause additional issues with corruption and overloading memory
