When to choose plugins and when to choose hint

Tags:

I do not know what would be arguments for choosing hint over plugins and vice-versa. I do not have object code but plain ascii.hs files that I want to have executed at runtime. I see that in terms of evaluation they are both pretty similar. Normally I would choose hint because it is free from features that I do not need at this time. Are there any other insights?
