SELECT INTO vs INSERT SELECT

In the situation of moving data around in the database, there are two common methods usually adapted in the circle.

Method 1: CREATE and INSERT

CREATE TABLE targetTbl (
xxx
xxx
xxx
);

INSERT INTO targetTbl (xxx)
SELECT xxx
FROM source
WHERE xxx;

Method 2: SELECT INTO

SELECT XXX
INTO targetTbl
FROM source
WHERE xxx;

Which way is better? It depends on the recovery mode set on the database. For both SIMPLE and BULK-LOGGED mode, since SELECT INTO is a bulk operation, it logs minimal information, so that SELECT INTO is more efficient than INSERT method.

What about the comparison under FULL recovery mode? They are about the same.
