Default Best way to search/filter a column?

I have a s/sheet that contains in excess of 1 thousand rows. Column A
has an index I wish to use to sort and remove data and this contains
approx. 100 unique strings, of which I wish to search for approx. 30
and delete the rows that do not match any of the 30.

So, does anybody know the best way to do this?

Autofilter?
For each.. and multiple If statements?
For... and multiple If statements?
Select case statements?

I'm happy to try and work the code out (although if anybody has any to
hand that would be even better!) but just don't want to waste time
creating slow and inefficient code to start with so if anybody could
tell me which method is the best I would much appreciate it?

Regards,

Adrian
