First off, a clarification of terms, by "Full Distro" you mean using DVD 
installer?  If so,

Several differences and pros/cons to each.  Off the top of my head:

kde spin:
(pro) is a live image, useful for quick-testing
(pro) fast, but simple, installer
(con) can't choose to add/remove components at install-time

DVD installer:
(pro) includes full gnome and kde desktops
(con) a much bigger download
(pro) installer has more features:  more formatting options, can make 
software selections
