Plain kernel source versus PowerPC patches

Hi, I just downloaded kernel-source-2.4.21 from unstable. I know I could build a kernel for my B&W G3 using just this, but I am aware of the existance of both kernel-patch-2.4.21-powerpc and kernel-patch-benh. I wonder which advantages would I get using each (I count on not being posible aply
