The way it works if you have both on (default):

start alsa init script
   check modules.conf to see if alsa configured
      if yes, load modules
      if no, exit with success
start sound init script
   check modules.conf to see of OSS configured
      if yes, load modules
      if no, exit with success

You lose nothing by leaving both on.  You gain the benefit that in the
future if you or Mdk determine the other is better, it just works
without you having to remember to enable the other service to start.
Personally I think they should be both just done from within the sound
init script, but that's just me :-)
