i like to use as few modules as possible, because
it reduceѕ the maintenance burden, makes upgrades
easier (especially if you need to upgrade to a
new drupal version in the distant future), less
likely to be side effects (like incompatible
modules) and can make the site run faster. So
there have to be good reasons for me, to use an
additional module, if what I want can be achived
with existing frameworks.

If you need rules anyway and they do what you
need, use rules.
