If you are the administrator of your server, I would not use any of them and prohibit IP addresses at the firewall level - thus, Apache or Apache + PHP will not have to work.

If you are not an admin; well, it .htaccessmeans only Apache, and PHP does not load / compile / execute; I assume that only Apache (i.e. .htaccess) should require less resources than Apache + PHP.

. PHP:

$banned = array('129.168.1.1');
if(in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $banned))
{
    die();
}

.htaccess:

order allow,deny
deny from 192.168.1.1
allow from all
