Such a thing always depends on your specific case. For example: if you have a very big XML file and you can reduce the amount of data on the client significantly before sending it over the network, the C# solution may be faster. On the other hand, if your C# solution generates 100 Update-SQL statements from a single XML record, making at least 100 round trips where you otherwise would need just one round trip, the server solution may be faster.
And, also your available hardware (client/server/network speed) makes a reasonable difference between those two solutions.
Best thing when dealing with performance issues is always: measure it!
