System restore uses configuration setting taken over a period of time. The Repair wizard uses the Software CD to repair damaged files. This how I see it. They do about the same thing, but, from a different approach.
Say you installed a program on 12-29-06. Later you install a program on 2-2-07. Then the first become corrupted. If, you do a system restore back to 12-29-06 you lose the second program. So, it may be best to use the repair wizard. If, you never loaded the second program then a system restore back to 12-29-06 be easier. This the best way I can explain.
Also, system restore could help if you get a virus or worm and can go back a day or two before this. Using repair wizard would leave the virus/worm intact.
You just have to think which way going to work the best, for what you need to do.
