mysqldump vs. 'mysql [db] > file.sql'

I stumbled across the latter method early on but notice that most folks
suggest using mysqldump instead; are there performance benefits with using
mysqldump, or some other reason?   

The same question could be applied to using mysqlimport vs. 'mysql [db] <
tablename.sql'.  

Thoughts?
