Multiple logical operators or nested if statements

#1

I am using multiple “or” logical operators to check to see if the user’s finger has slipped off the button.  The code is something like this:

if (event.phase == “moved”) then

          eventX = event.x

          eventY = event.y

          if (eventX >= button.x + 75 ) or (eventX <= button.x - 75) or  (eventY >= button.y + 75 ) or (eventY <=                        button.y - 75 ) then – perform action

Everything works fine, but I am wondering if using 4 “or” operators in one line is the best way to go, or if using multiple if statements would be better.  

if (eventX >= button.x + 75) then

     – perform action

elseif (eventX <= button.x - 75) then

     --perform same action

elseif (eventY >= button.y + 75… etc.

Both will work, but which is faster and less resource hungry?  I want to use this same concept to do some non-physics based collision detection.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Guess nobody knows.  Maybe there is no difference.  I just thought it might be similar to using multiplication instead of division, or Boolean instead of string data or numbers, where one is much faster and uses less resources than the other.  I’m always looking to streamline my code.
