IMHO, yes. You are always better off with prepared statements.

OWASP agrees. If you look at the recommendation, it says "use
prepared statements" no ifs and/or exceptions.

Honestly, I simply stick with static statements unless there's a real
need for dynamic. The only real need is when you don't know till run
time what file you'll be reading.

"dynamic" WHEREs and ORDER BY can be handled in a static statement.

I ask, because even though the programmer carefully created the SQL
via concatenation to protect against injection, the next maintenance
programmer may not.
