OpenGL ES 2 vs Drawing on Canvas (SurfaceView) - which is better?

Say I want to look into the process of making 2d games, with the amount of graphics, movement, etc, similar to AngryBirds.

So I wanted to ask, what kind of drawing method should I use - simple drawing sprites on canvas (SurfaceView) or should I better look into using OpenGL ES 2 ?

What do you think are the pros and cons of one over the other?

Also I'm looking for a way to make sprites move like physical objects, I guess there was some Box2D engine for that...

If you want to create 2D game go for the Canvas(SurfaceView) instead of OpenGL. OpenGL is mostly used for 3D Games and its is not easy to do implementation in OpenGL.
