Use Calculation field type, or Number field type with auto-enter calculation?

I am trying to clean up some of my fields and I'm trying having a hard time figuring out the different between these two (and which one I should use, since I think they produce the same result???)

1) Calculation field type (recalculating when needed)

2) Number field type (auto-enter calculation; replaces existing value)

I am assuming that these two have the same result; but are there advantages/disadvantages to using one strategy over another?

Always use calculation fields to perform calculations, unless you have a good reason not to. One possible reason is to enable the user to override the calculation result.
