Choosing between a Layer or Plug-in

Hi,

        I'm new to the Openmap development side of things and I understand that there
is now a Pluginn Layer. If I have the right of it, this gives me the option of
developing either (i) a layer or (ii) a plugin to the Plugin Layer.

        What I don't know at the moment is which is the right choice to make? Is it the
case that plugins are just simpler ways of getting data into the client, but
that implementing a Layer would make for a more efficient way of doing the same
thing?

        How do I make this choice?

Thanks (in Advance) for your help,
Damian
