Sorry about the noob question I'm very new to programming
Any ideas which android would handle better.

64 if statements needing to be run every time 2 sprites collide

vs.

a 8 case statement select option
with another 8 cases for each
whenever two sprites collide?

I can code it either way, I'm just unsure how each effect performance.

Definitely go with case statement.

It allows you to organize the logic better, is easier to read and easier to debug.

Also, at runtime, it knows which case to go to without having to go through lots of 'if' checks.

You are totally welcome.

Another benifit of case vs if-else is that you can more easily add new cases.

Happy Programming!
