Yes, although it might depend on your database design. And even then you could use Stored Procedures if necessary.

The default answer, is certainly yes. This is where all ORMs shine. In large systems where writing a data access layer is a big and error prone task.

As Steve McConnell suggests in his great book you should never make speculations about performance. Therefore, if you have specific performance concerns, you should try benchmarking.

If you want my opinion, between clear code and performance, I choose clear code. It will allow you to implement a more robust and maintainable system. Then, if you identify performance problems, you could make the necessary minor changes. This is my default rule.

Hope I helped!
