Is there a difference in performance between an Enum field and a Text field with Data Validity to a table (making it a dropdown selection field).

With a Text field and validation, there are no choices.  The user enters a value and then validation will tell them if it is not accepted.

 

A list-returning valid_if in a Text column does in fact show as a dropdown as the OP has described. 

@TennysonK , I wouldn't concern yourself with any difference here.
