Hi,

It depends on which one you are compatible with. there is really not much difference in using early or late binding apart from the file size. Early binding file size will be large compare to late binding one.
check the below post from Scott that provides detailed information about late and early binding difference

For most plugins I would use Early binding. The performance difference is minimal, unless you are updating lots of records.
The benefits of early binding are
Better readability of code
not syntax errors because the code uses fields that exist and the programmer doesn't have to type them in.
it removes type/casting errors because the compiler knows what type each field is, where as late binding the compiler doesn't know until the code is running.
The benefit of removing the errors mentioned above is it means bugs are moved to compile time rather than run time
you can read about performance here

Early bound classes produce code which is easier to understand (readability) and easier to debug, maintain and extend.
Late bound is ok if you want to write a generic plugin which isn't bound by one particularly entity
