Should I Use CordovaWebView or AndroidWebView in my android native App?

Question

I am making a few simple applications for android platform using Phonegap. I used to use the Android WebView to display the html files put in the assets directory like this ....

public class MyQuiz extends DroidGap
{
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
    }
}

Soon.. I came to know that this can be done using Cordova Web View too. Is there any difference between the two? Like Performance, Look & feel or anything else? Is my approach Right ?
