    You should use DATEADD because the simple math does not work with date or datetime2 datatypes.

    I have to ask... if you're not using the DATE or DATETIME2 datatypes, why does that matter?

    Consistency? Personally, I don't use the @DataVar + NumDays to add NumDays to a datetime value. I like using the DATEADD function, it provides clarity.
