I don't know that it makes any difference to be honest... Does boxing* MyType to object have any overhead worth considering?
Using object.ReferenceEquals appears cleaner IMO as we are obviously comparing the references of each instance (or null), rather than a cast to object when, apart from the null equality check, we never actually want it as an object.

*Edit: If MyType is a reference type then it's not boxing, but you get what I mean

Edit 2: See this SO thread[^]

Binging is like googling, it just feels dirtier.

BTW, in software, hope and pray is not a viable strategy. (Luc Pattyn)
