DNS Subdomain Vs Delegation

Hello,

can anybody tell me what is the difference between
creating a subdomain or a delegation to a primary zone on
the same server ? What I mean is:

domain: example.com on server1 (primary zone)

1) create subdomain "dev.example.com" on server1.
2) create new primary zone "dev.example.com" on server1.
Create delegation under "example.com" on server1 that
points to itself. (windows does this automatically if I
create a new zone that has the same root domain as a
primary zone)

As far as I understand, the only difference is that in
the second example I can replicate the domain and the
subdomain independently when using standard zone
transfers. What do you usually do in a production
environent ?

Thank you.
