You actually never pass real string to the function. Instead what is happening, you are creating new string object in a heap and pass its pointer to the function through the stack. So in a way there is no much difference, but will be less work for a garbage collector.
If all your strings are static and already loaded in some array, the ID will save you trouble to load them each time. Or, if you have some resource provider, like Android does, it will let you to have multi-language support with no cost at all.
