Booting from SD has a performance gain over booting from flash.

I have seen 10-15 seconds quicker during boot. Swap is available in both boot from SD and boot from flash configurations.

To me the biggest reason I like to boot from flash, is space. My KDE takes over 1GB so it cannot fit in flash. I can aslo boot to flash and fix the boot from SD partitions should something go wrong, install some bad package.
