Question : Best way to query SQl 2008 trough VB 2008

I have some tables that have two fields "Year" & "Company".
I want to do about 30 queries on that tables but only for the records that matches the "Company" "Year" filter.
I want to know the best way to do that.
Write the queries on VB?
Write the queries in VB using LINQ
Generate Functions on SQL using "Company" Year" as parameters
Mix Filter the main tables using a function and then write the queries on Views using the filtered data.
The queries that I'm talking about are simple queries like "Select * from where "Company" = .. and "Year"= ... and "Status" =1

I personally would write the queries in VB using Linq. Using Linq does not stop you from using Stored Procedures or Function in SQL server. Less code to write to query the DB.
