IF. Difference between styles (performance)

Question

What is the difference between these 2? I am talking about performance and file size.

public String Method()
{
    if(condition) return "a"; else return "b";
}

and

public String Method()
{
    return condition ? "a": "b";
}

Which do you prefer and why? Same question for

(condition == false) and (!condition)

Read about premature optimization. You really should not care about "performance and file size" (assembly size?) at this level, unless your proper benchmarks have turned out otherwise. — CodeCaster, Jul 02 '15 at 10:23

Both Perform the same function, and are compiled to the IL in the same way . So the fact is the readability of your code. If you find the IF condition gives your code a better understanding and readability use that and the same goes for Ternary operators.
