getElementById probably because it doesnt do any additional operations such as analysing your input.

Try this to test the speed of each update functions, notice the speed of jQuery function. https://code.sololearn.com/Wu20kv75u57T/?ref=app

get ElementById- gets an element with particular I'd ,in this case it will be operable to all same ID's . querySelector- it is operable for the first occurance of a id

I think, querySelector is faster

getElementById is faster but no significant. So we use whichever that convenient to us most.
