if you don't have a urgent reason to deactivate the dbal extension, don't do it. Most extensions which are coded according to the TYPO3 coding guidlines need the abstraction layer, because they use the dbal-functions for there queries. If you don't want to use dbal for some reason, just don't call the regarding functions in your extension but let it activated.
If you use MySQL there is no need to activate dbal. Dbal is needed if you use other DBMS or if you want to have tables in a second MySQL server.
Dbal overrides some of the core functions to provide support for other DBMS, but this is done in a way that extensions (if they use DBAL compatible queries) and the rest of the core don't notice the difference.
