node_load() should be better in most cases because it uses an internal cache to make sure a node is never loaded twice.
This ensures no SQL query repetition, that are often the worst nightmare for performance.

Hi all. I have a content type with 15+ fields. In some situations I need to retrieve only 3 fields.
So, is better (perfomance, security, portability, etc etc) a call to node_load() function or a direct SQL query on the right table ?
