-Which is better turbosmooth or opensubdiv ?

-can i use crease + turbosmooth  instead of   adding edge loops ?  and will that have any bad effect on the model that im creating

If you want to use crease and crease sets, the you'll have to use Opensubdiv. I don't think turbosmooth supports that data.

OpenSubdiv in theory looks like a good idea, since it seems to support portability. However we’ve found it has two big drawbacks.

Viewport performance is slower on dense meshes, and creases don’t survive well during modeling/editing/exporting. 

Sometimes in a team workflow, an asset will be edited by more than one person.

I like to use edge weights in the editable poly sub object to drive chamfer modifiers and then I add a turbosmooth on top of everything.  Also if you add an empty crease set modifier before your chamfer modifiers you get a nice preview while modeling.
