Well, there is no harm in *storing* binary data. However, binary data is
no text string and should not be handled as text (first of all, most of
text processing relies on encoding standards, which binary data
obviously do not comply with).

Storing binary data inside a database is perfectly fine. You should not,
however:
* use blobs or large text fields as table indexes, even if text indexing
techniques have been improved
* as a consequence, use them as key for selecting/sorting
* embed them directly in a text request.

Prepared statement have multiple advantages when dealing with
parameters:
* there is no known database-related security issue when dealing with
user supplied parameters as prepared statements bound parameters
(whatever the data encoding or contents)
* the php overhead is reduced when dealing with large or numerous
parameters (no complex/long string is concatenated inside php)
* the database processing is also usually faster because the lexer is
released of most of the request length.

Prepared statements are a best practice, both for performance and
security reasons, go for them ;)
