The difference is subtle.  By having the graphics and text rendered by
the different system they will end up having a different 'look'.  I
know that usetex solves most of the text-in-graphics issues, and that
TeX wasn't even designed to really layout anything but text and the
most minimal vector graphics, but TikZ is more than adequate for plots
and stands on its own merit as a fully-featured graphics language.
TeX+TikZ finally eliminates the need for external vector hackery.  Of
course, I'll probably just use pdf and usetex as you suggest, but I
was hoping for something better.
