Answer
map is simpler and more performant for direct transformations.
The map operator is used for straightforward transformations of each element, while flatMap is used for asynchronous operations. For instance, multiplying each price in a price list by a discount factor should use map, as it directly transforms each value without additional asynchronous steps.
