The kernel client runs as a kernel module and will generaly give you more performance en functionality, but it in some situations you might want to run the user-space FUSE client.

If the kernel client crashes you'll end up with a kernel panic and you also need root privs.

That is up to you, but I prefer the kernel client, I think most users do.

The FUSE client is useful for fast and simple testing though.
