My workbook has become so complicated that I want every formula / macro to be as efficient as possible which leads to my question –

Is it faster/more efficient to retrieve a value based on a worksheet cell value OR from an ActiveX object value? I need this value regardless of what sheet the user is on in the workbook. 

CStr(ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("TearSheet").Range("SelectedCusip").Value2)
 '   or
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("TearSheet").OLEObjects("cboCusipList").Object.Value

Does it even make a difference? Thx much.

    Retrieving one value is very fast and neither method should be noticeably faster; choose whichever seems to fit the rest of your code better. FWIW, I would rather pull a cell value. In general, focus your performance improvements where you are retrieving many values at a time or on the design of the worksheets themselves.
