Whatever floats your boat. The point of the Addon/Plugin/helpers API
is that you can use scripts if thy serve your needs better.
All the usual Open Source benefits of "many eyeballs" and somebody
else doing code maintenance for you applies to using a bundled helper
over a custom written one.
Beyond that the kerberos helper also provides automatic detection of
which LDAP server to use via mutiple auto-configuration methods.
If you can demonstrate that the ext_kerberos_ldap_group_acl does
provides a superset of the functionality of ext_ldap_group_acl helper
then I can de-duplicate the two helpers.

Thanks for the hint regarding automatic detection of LDAP servers. I am
just trying to find what the differences between the two helpers are and
which one does fit my needs better. Any others?
Do you know anything about the feature in ext_kerberos_ldap_group_acl
mentioned by Markus Moeller in an earlier post?
"I have a new method in my squid 3.4 patch which uses the Group
Information MS is putting in the ticket. This would eliminate the ldap
lookup completely."
