sql query execution using exists and IN

Oct 30 2015 1:37 AM
SELECT * FROM FAMILY_DETAILS WHERE EXISTS(SELECT EMPLOYEE_ID FROM EMPLOYEE_MASTER WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID='EMP001')
SELECT * FROM FAMILY_DETAILS WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID IN(SELECT EMPLOYEE_ID FROM EMPLOYEE_MASTER WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID='EMP001')
I have these two queries in sql server 2008 R2. Both will give same results. Actually from these above queries output is only two rows, But in case if i have large number of records in that scenario Which one is better to use? and why?
