Statics/Conduits are the old pre-Cisco way of doing things in a PIX. Works well, is easy to configure but Cisco says that at some point support for that command will likely be discontinued. Cisco is trying to make the PIX OS more IOS-centric and has brought access lists into the command fold as of about v5.x. I was slow to adopt the change to access lists in my PIX's as I hadn't used them much before then. I was very familiar with conduits but since becoming more familiar with access lists I haven't found anything that I could do with conduits that I can't with access-lists and I'm not concerned that support for ACL's is disappearing anytime soon. Only thing I'd say is that I've read you can experience some very weird and unexpected results if you mix an access list and conduits together. Go with all one or all of the other.

[7:72514] Hi all The boss wants to allow ping. In the website I found the way by using an access list. In another config I see a conduit is used. What is the difference between using a conduit and an access list to allow ping Is it that a conduit is to a specific host Rather than permit any?
