I have this questions that fits the FAQ of Code Review, Programmers, and Stack Overflow. It contains a couple code snippets for one platform and I'd like to know the recommended practice between them. I know Stack Overflow would accept this question, but where should I best fit it?

Did you write this code? –  Winston Ewert Nov 2 '12 at 20:49
    
Yes. It's a concatenated sample from my actual code. –  slybloty Nov 2 '12 at 20:52

Stack Overflow is for concrete problems; if it's somehow not working as intended.

Code Review is for code that works as intended, but could use improvements - to performance, to maintainability, or other goals.

Programmers is for the conceptual questions.

(I recall there's a diagram about that, but have been unable to find it back).

Since you have actual snippets, I'd say it's StackOverflow for the things that are broken and CodeReview for the things that need improvement.
Note that you don't have to do this "in parallel". You may ask StackOverflow to help fix things first. And after that, post the larger, fixed codebase to CodeReview.

I don't think Programmers is where you want to go, unless you want to re-consider the entire design.

Both versions work fine and achieve the same thing. What I'm looking for is performance behind the methods. –  slybloty Nov 3 '12 at 19:56

Two versions, both working fine? Sounds like CodeReview to me then. –  S.L. Barth Nov 4 '12 at 6:02
    
Well, I've posted it on Code Review: codereview.stackexchange.com/q/18255/16963 –  slybloty Nov 5 '12 at 16:15
