Some advice on best practice..

Is it better to use modules specific to a task even when another module that's needed anyway can achieve the same result?

Here is what I mean.. I currently have a site that uses "Login Destination" and "Rules".. "Rules" can do the same thing, redirecting users to a page on login.. So in this scenario and others like it would it be better to remove "Login Destination" and just create a rule to do what's needed?

TIA
