Extending a class will add the styles just once, and add all the selectors that the style needs to be applied to alongside where it's defined. A mixin on the other hand, will copy the styles individually to each selector where you've included it.
Here's what I mean.
Mixin
@mixin mixin(){
color: blue;
}
.selector-1{
@include mixin();
}
.selector-2{
@include mixin();
}
Compiles to
.selector-1 {
color: blue;
}
.selector-2 {
color: blue;
}
Extending a class
.extend{
color: blue;
}
.selector-1{
@extend .extend;
}
.selector-2{
@extend .extend;
}
Compiles to
.extend, .selector-1, .selector-2 {
color: blue;
}
So in terms of efficiency, extending a class will result in a smaller compiled file size, which is why Sass offers the extend feature in the first place.
