Subject: [gentoo-user] bindmount or symlink?

I am seriously thinking of splitting the storage of directories under /usr,
e.g., /usr/portage and /usr/source actually living somewhere else, on
different partition and different filesystem. Let's say something mounted
on /mnt/Persistent.

My question: should I use bindmount or symlinks to do that? What's the
drawbacks/benefits for either?

Rgds,
