Filters Joins or Where clauses TSQL
There is no performance difference
Best practice is explicit JOIN and separate filters (your 2nd example)


Note:

This changes for OUTER JOINs because you'd change it to a inner join

The quick way:

SELECT a.colum
FROM
   A 
   LEFT JOIN 
   B  ON A.ID =  B.ID AND B.STATUS  = 1
WHERE
   a.foo = 'bar'


With separate filters:

SELECT a.colum
FROM
   A 
   LEFT JOIN 
   (SELECT * FROM B WHERE STATUS  = 1) B ON A.ID =  B.ID
WHERE
   a.foo = 'bar'
