Which method is "Optimized" about "Checking Ground" ?

I have 2 way to checking ground. the one is in update function so i think this is not good because any written code in update always repeating, example:

 void Update() {
 
     if (Physics2D.OverlapCircle(groundcheck.transform, 0.2f, "LayerMask"))  (or using raycast)
     {
           onground = true; ( onground always seeking true for all scene time)
           if (onground)
           {
                  .....  "scripts about isgrounded "
           }
     }
 }

OR i make an another trigger collider in the player object so function to be called one time when this collider enters any ground tagged area, this is overly simple but i think this is more optimized for mobile genre, but i dont know what happens if it hosts one more and one more collider.
to be more fundamentally: İs more optimized to use the Game Engine (ontriggerenter is sample for it), or using lithe codes in scripts is more for getting fps ?

Personally of what I have learned in the last few months. I would say that either way is good, but if you are looking to keep your FPS its best to keep ypur code clean and call actions whenever they are needed to keep your FPS.

Mainly i have used both methods and they worked fine for me.
