AngularJS ng-repeat filter performance: custom filter or ng-show / hide

tl;dr What's the optimal way to filter large lists in Angular?

---

This is mainly about performance.

I have an array of objects that I list with ng-repeat. There will be hundreds to thousands of items. I now need to filter the list based on either:

• A. a single, simple property (e.g. number)


• B. multiple conditions (some expression)

What option is best:

1. use a custom filter


2. use ng-show / ng-hide


3. use ng-if


4. don't filter in the view at all -- maybe use service + controller (?)


5. use ReactJS (?)

---

Details about the usecase:

• I want to bind most of the objects' properties with :: one time binding, though some properties need two-way binding (score for sorting)


• The list will be sorted dynamically, on fields independent from the fields used for filtering. Items filtered out probably should not be included in the sorting


• The filtering needs to be dynamic

So I found Ben Nadel's post http://www.bennadel.com/blog/2487-filter-vs-nghide-with-ngrepeat-in-angularjs.htm but my question is meant to address general, standard usecases.
