You can make a simple test to get a hunch on how various cards behave.
Code:
time dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=20480
time dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=20480
This tells you almost nothing, but it works for getting an idea. On my system, the eMMC has roughly twice the speed as the CL10 cards that I have tested. The difference is naturally even more pronounced for writes.

So yes, the eMMC should still perform best.
