In my opinion, if your statis members are public, you should access it directly. Otherwise if it’s private or protected, you can access via a method. If you use Reflection to access a static member, the PHP interpreter need some unncessary steps to reflect all member of your object and the process is slower. Another reason to avoid using reflection is you can use code completiong of IDE for improving productivity.
