I'm certainly not a metalurgist but it would be my assumption that a cast would be stronger since you don't risk braking up the crystaline structure. A good example of this are cross drilled rotors. If you could cast them in theyd be less likely to break, but if you drill them you break off pieces of the crystaline molecular structure at the edges, which weakens the structure.
