HD Install :: Frugal vs Debian Type install

Can someone better explain the differences as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the two install types? The information given in 'Getting Started With DSL' left me kind of fuzzy on which one I should choose. Thanks for the help.

There's a lengthy thread that includes many user opinions and experiences on both sides:
