Pros and cons can't really be assessed without more information. A business case mostly depends on the context. Are you sending e-mail for an entire organisation? Are they coming from a service? Are they automated? Are they sent in batches? How big are the batches?

All these things can effect the pros and cons of each approach.

Make sure you don't under-research this as the last thing you want to do is get your company's domain spam black-listed by accident.
