Many of the common applications are in the kitchen. It is a simple click and the application will be put on your ROM. The applications that are built into a ROM will survive a Hard reset whereas the ones installed via cab file will not. If you have to hard reset they will all have to be reinstalled. Having them in the ROM speeds up the process of setting up your phone after a hard reset. Also you can use an Auto installed, such as tierautoinstall to automatically install your cab files after a flash. You just put the cab on an SD card(on the root of the card) and when you hard reset it will run and install the cabs for you. It simplifies the process a lot. That is just my opinion. I guess you can tell from my former post I am a fan of cooking my own.
