For users reading the list by email it would be nice to  quote some context.

One thing to note in this context is that there is a fundamental difference between generating random content from within a LilyPond compilation (i.e. a Scheme function) and through a script generating .ly file(s).

I'd say: Whenever there even *may* be the need to postprocess or recreate anything you should definitely generate .ly files. But when your intention is to *always* produce random results (e.g. thinking of a random exercise generator for a web application) a Scheme function seems more elegant and natural.
