For now, do whatever is the most readable, understandable, maintainable. Only diverge from this path, if you actually measure a problem. For your example: no, you will not notice a few milliseconds for extra initialization, and a few bytes for a few objects. This may change, if you have 1000s of states and millions of instances. | |
