If you had a single subnet for each group of users, it would probably be about the same to use IP::addr in the iRule versus matchclass against a datagroup. If you have more than one subnet, I expect matchclass to be faster.

Here is an example address datagroup: 

 
 class hosts_subnets_class { 
    host 1.1.1.1 
    network 2.0.0.0/8 
 }

You can create the datagroup in the GUI under Local Traffic >> iRules >> Datagroups list tab.
