If you are running a desktop application then Trusted Connections are the way to go. With web applications they are a little more difficult to implement, but still, IMO, should be used if possible.
If your AD uses groups then most of the management can be done in AD by assigning users to the correct groups because you could allow those groups access to the SQL Server and then to the database.

Unless you have a bonafide functionality reason why you couldn't use trusted connections (such as a web server sitting in the DMZ, which wouldn't be on the domain), the recommendation is to go with trusted connections. Most of the reasons have been covered by Jack.
