Some people like the separate clip-on hoods because they will provide more protection if you bump the front of the lens against something. Others like the built-in hoods because you cannot lose them. I have lenses with both kinds and my preferences lean towards the built-in type. My Noctilux has the clip-on hood, though. From an optical point of view it does not matter which kind you have.
