Static or OTF creation?

[Steve & Patti Getzinger <psatg bluemarble net>]

I am wondering in concept which is the better way to go. I am doing a 
small app with a notebook. Some pages will never be seen unless there is 
a problem. In reality if they bail in the beginning none of the pages 
would be seen except page0. So in theory is it wiser to create based on 
if's or create statically and then call according to the same if's that 
would have created OTF?

TIA
