Task29 is kind of like a memory format. When you flash a ROM you can't be 100% certain that all memory is erased. Some left over files/bits from your last ROM might cause trouble with your newest ROM.
If you flash to the Stock carrier ROM for your phone, it also formats all of the memory, creating a blank slate. Task 29 does the same thing, just does it a bit quicker, since it doesn't load a full OS, just clears memory and applies a boot screen.
You may see people talk of the 'Flash dance'. This is process of flashing a Stock Rom (or Task 29) before updating to the latest custom ROM to be sure there is no problem.
One last thing about Task 29. Since it doesn't load an OS, once you flash with it, you won't be able to use Activesync/Mobile Device Center to connect and flash your custom Rom. You will need to know how to put your phone into bootloader mode by hand.
