Memcache, by about 1000x
Memcached works by storing objects in RAM, if you were to fwrite the data it would be stored on a disk so you'd get disk performance. If possible, always go for Memcached over disk/file storage and make sure you change your memcached config to use a decent amount of ram (By default it'll only use 1GB so if you've got a decent server you can upgrade it a bit, I wouldn't give it more than 75% of your ram but a good chunk).
