From what I can see in just the content that each endpoint returns,  returns a NewPP limit report which includes several stats about the page you just queried, so you could maybe save a few bytes with using   instead. But come on, I'm sure you already knew that.

The main difference I find between using both endpoints is that by using the revisions API you can query different APIs along with it, since (most) use. You can't do that with, since only one action is allowed per request.

Regarding specific use-cases for each, I'd say that the parse method would be best for displaying the whole article to the user, since it includes other important values like the categories and inter-language links, and use the revisions method for handling data.

But ultimately, that's up to the user. There's always going to be that guy that prefers running two requests instead of just one. And who are we to say otherwise?
