Which is better - svg sprite or pasting the code directly in css?

Question

HTML

If only svg is supposed to be used, only for new browsers, do I need to create a sprite or can I put the svg code directly into css styles? What is better for performance and what pitfalls can there be?
My case is a third-party js plugin that adds its own markup, in which I, in turn, need to insert svg, with hover effects. In principle, the plugin provides any insertion option, directly in HTML is even more convenient. Plus, the usual icons on the page, it seems like a sprite is the most convenient here. If you combine both approaches, will it not be perceived as a mess in the code?
