It's a simple question with a complicated answer. Here is the information you're looking for:

http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1315.html

In a nutshell, the advantage is that the K3 is sometimes faster (not always). The disadvantages are 1. you have to file two petitions, so more paperwork; and 2. your spouse will still have to adjust status after arrival in the US so even more paperwork, and a longer time yet before he/she gets the green card.

Unless there is more than one type of spousal visa (which i doubt) then basically what would happen is
1) if the spouse is living in a foreign country, they would make 2 trips to the US embassy, in their country, It is a minimum wait time of 5 months. Then they would get their visa stamp and cross over.
2) the spouse is here in the US illegally, they would need to apply here, then go down to their country and have their first appointment with the embassy, then wait the 5 mos and have their second one, then they would get a visa stamp (if approved) and cross over.
