It is far better to be able to spot potential problems by being alerted for the most relevant conditions on your servers at the best threshold.

They make the deployment of SSIS packages easier and can provide parameters that are based on the server configuration, or which change for each runtime. They're easy to understand, especially when explained by Rob Sheldon.
