Most people use whats easier for them/what they are used to. Besides corner cases (which are subject to heavy flamewars and none at all clearly marked) there probably is no technical reason pro or cons any of these. I myself use in-kernel ppp because (1) I used to run a router with only 4 MB RAM, and spawing ppp on dial-in caused a significant delay vs. the in-kernel solution and (2) my provider charges heavily for the second channel (the only thing missing from the in-kernel stuff from my POV). For NetBSD there are other reasons, because the in-kernel version has diverged quite a bit (IPv6, ALTQ, ...) but no real world user will notice if not explicitly looking for differences. (Note that I know ~ nothing about state of affairs in FreeBSD-current nor have looked at userland ppp in detail during the last half year).
