I can't say whether the filesystem or MySQL would be faster, partly it depends on your hosting.  However, in theory since MySQL itself will be writing to the disk, you have to imagine that the filesystem would be faster by default.

 

Caching to MySQL might have benefits if you have little disk space, don't want to give php write permissions to the filesystem as a security measure, or have a very slow disk for some reason.

 

The caching option at the bottom of the page where you can choose Memcached is a bit different, it's not just template caching but also database object caching.  So far in my experience if I turn that on I get some weird behavior where changes I make in the back office seem to be ignored.  I would keep that off for now.
