Advantages of a custom module:

Easy deployment . If you have DEV-, TEST-, and Production environment, you save a lot of time because you only have to declare the changes once but you can install the module several times.
Changes endure updates . If you customize a view in the web interface (e.g. sale order), then your changes will be lost when you perform an update of the Sales module.
