It depends.

As compared to exactly WHAT?

The good news is that ODBC allows remote clients to access your database
The bad news is that ODBC allows remote clients to access your database

Security vs. flexibility?
Which is "more" important?

ODBC is univerally supported standard but a little slow compared to
native drivers. There has to be a good reason NOT to use odbc as users
rarely notice the difference.
