IF VS Switch (FBI MOST WANTED ?)

IF VS Switch (FBI MOST WANTED ?)

switch ( $action ) {
case ( 'FBI Most Wanted' ) :
$counter++;
break;

case ( 'Most Fuel Efficient Car' ) :
$counter++;
break;

case ( 'Most Expensive Car' ) :
$counter++;
break;
}

if ( $action == 'first' ) {
$counter++;
} elseif ( $action == 'Most Fuel Efficient Car' ) {
$counter++;
} elseif ( $action == 'Most Expensive Car' ) {
$counter++;
}


Obviously Switch is a lot cleaner to read !
