The primary difference is that you don't need all of the extra node/process discovery stuff that Erlang provides when you use protobuffs, so there's less overhead. Your Erlang app also isn't affected when a Riak node goes down or comes up. Protobuffs isn't necessarily more compact that Erlang's ETF.
