What is difference between use env('APP_ENV'), config('app.env') or App::environment() to get app environment?

What is difference between use env('APP_ENV'), config('app.env') or App::environment() to get app environment?

I know that the env('APP_ENV') will to $_ENV, config('app.env') reads the configuration and App::environment() is an abstraction of all. And in my opinion the advantage is even this. Abstraction.

I do not know if there are other differences, such as the level of peformance or security
