Use switch.
In the worst case the compiler will generate the same code as a if-else chain, so you don’t lose anything. If in doubt put the most common cases first into the switch statement.
In the best case the optimizer may find a better way to generate the code. Common things a compiler does is to build a binary decision tree (saves compares and jumps in the average case) or simply build a jump-table (works without compares at all).
