Should I use "Get Curve Value With Default" in the Event Graph or Anim Graph?

Hi everyone!
In my PostAnimBP, I’m using the Get Curve Value With Default node to retrieve values and control behavior.
I’m calling this node in multiple places within the graph, specifying different curve names each time.

This made me wonder—rather than using it directly in the Anim Graph, would it be better to use it in the Event Graph and store the values in variables instead?

In this kind of case, which approach is more appropriate: using the node in the Event Graph or in the Anim Graph?
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this!

I’m using those curves often to get values from montages, and usually I use a node function, so that the value is being read only when that specific node is active.
If you use Event Graph you’ll read that value every tick, which might not be necessary and it can give you performance issues.
