Is there any alternative for ADO.net & EFW?

Question

I have been working on ADO.net majorly and on EFW for sometime on one project. I am going to Work on a new project and getting confused on choosing the DB layer. I have read some articles on performance of ADO.net and EFW. EFW is slower than ADO. So, I would like to choose the best one for my project. I know that, ADO.net implementation requires write more code. So, I am looking for more performance and less coding. Please suggest me for the alternative to ADO.net and EFW if exists, if not please suggest the best one between them.

 

Little info on project:

 

Project description: its going to be a single page application and data will be saved for a user on date wise. Need to fetch the data for the selected date.

 

IDE : VS2017 Framework: Latest version of the framework. Database: MS Sqlserver 2014 Service layer: WebAPi UI : Angular 6 with typescript.

 

Thanks in advanced.
