Using SSI on all .html pages

In the past, I have used a script to build my web pages using a template containing the navigation menus, and separate files with the content. If I changed the navigation, I rebuilt all the pages. It's not a big deal, it takes longer to upload them.

For a new site, I have made all the .html pages server-parsed, and put the navigation into an include file. I'd like to do this for my other sites, but some advice I've seen suggests that this creates undesirable extra work for the server.

Which is the best way, building the pages manually, or using SSI?
