I don't think there's any real advantages/disadvantages to be honest, but if you're developing on something other than Business or Ultimate, then you won't have IIS locally, so the inbuilt web server is a way of testing webbased applications.
 
Inbuilt web server is OK but for larger applications I usually find I need the flexibility of full IIS for configuration purposes, or for running plugins as above.

Windows XP's implementation of IIS is a pain as you can (technically) only have one website, but that can be worked around.

~J~: Are you referring to Windows 7? You can install IIS on Windows 7 Home Premium, you don't need Business or Ultimate.

No Vista, but the general rule of thumb I think would still apply, if you've a Windows based OS that can't have IIS installed then using the Web Server in VS would be a way of running Web Based apps.
 
I think there may be some minor speed increases under IIS7, however if you're running under IIS7, it has URL rewriting now built in (ala apache) so you don't need any third party code or ISAPI modules.
