The differences, though small, are fundamental.  Individuals and 
organizations setting up recursive servers for their own use should 
answer that question on their own.  For our own recursive servers (tier 
2 servers), I'd favor hints over slaving the root zone.  It requires 
less disk space and is the default configuration for the reference 
implementation (BIND).  It's marginally simpler to configure, replacing 
one file compared to editing another that likely has other configuration 
in it.
