Potential energy and kinetic energy. I'd rather use potential as 100% of my power when possible instead of as a slight boost to the gas I'm burning on that same stretch.
Then there's load. Uphill is a greater load (gravity), as is higher speed (aero). You can minimize one of those loads but not the other.
If you have an SG or UG, it's very easy to check: On a consistent route, alternate methods and record your short trip results. Note variables and see which way works best for you.
