There could be a small performance hit if you have multiple rAF loops. GSAP's ticker will only call rAF once for every listener. What's best really depends on what you're doing. For long running usage I typically use GSAP's ticker unless I'm using a library that has it's own ticker, like PixiJS. For short term usage, like debouncing an event, I might use rAF or a promise.

Alright cool, so if I just need to start a rAF upon page load for example, and then need it to run for the duration of the visit, using the ticker might be a tad better?
