If you need to use it, then any differences between ISNULL and alternatives like COALESCE or CASE are minuscule. Don’t worry about it
Any differences come from how datatypes are handled. COALESCE/CASE can add implicit data type conversions whereas ISNULL has simpler rules.
Edit
ISNULL in the SELECT list to suppress NULLS is trivial. The main work will done in processing rows and data. An extra ISNULL won’t be measurable: Don’t optimise prematurely
