I wouldn't go so far as to insist, but I do strongly recommend it. Not for speed, primarily - using prepared statements may be as fast in many cases - but not just "for the sake of it" either. Using stored procedures allows you to logically segment data access code from your application in a useful way, and allows the application to be secured a bit more - you can in many cases essentially remove the ability to run arbitrary SQL from your application.
