LSUIElement allows you to link to AppKit and connect to the WindowServer. That means you can create floating windows, system menus, etc.. Or UI elements -- as the name suggestions.
I believe LSBackgroundOnly is more limited in user interaction, although it works well with AppleEvents. If you're planning to put up any UI to the user, you should go the LSUIElement path. I tend to default to LSUIElement for anything that's in the background -- as it always leaves me with more options.
