Pippin Williamson has written a good explanation of which to use over on Wptuts+.
TL;DR: If the functionality is something that should continue to work after you switch themes, then it belongs in a plugin.

For those of you who have visited my blog before, you may notice that my blog is rocking a new theme. Yes, after over 4 years I’m finally ditching my very hacked up version of the “Neat!” theme for something a bit more modern. It’s called Mystique and it was made by digitalnature.
I’m still making minor tweaks to the theme, so bear with me while I make the transition and feel free to report any issues in the comments for this post. 🙂
