Define "performance".

Rows/second is meaningless, as I've noted - and proven - on a number of occasions.

Enterprise stages have innate parallel capability, and so would be the stage type of preference to communicate with XPS particularly.

API stages are essentially the same stages you used in server jobs.

Bulk load stages invoke the bulk loader technology which, provided all the rules are satisfied, are typically the fastest mechanism for getting data into a table.
