We are running a MQSI flow to third parties and are in the process of establishing a standard for the XML messages sent to us in XML format. My question is simple: Is it better to use normal XML elements as in
<ReceivedMessage>
<Value1>AAA</Value1>
<Value2>BBB</Value2>
<Value3>CCC</Value3>
</ReceivedMessage>

or as Attributes as in
<ReceivedMessage Value1="AAA" Value2="BBB" Value3="CCC"/>

Which is the most effective, and which is the fastest?
Thanks
