I think it's a matter of style.

I would always tend to use <p> and then use CSS to adjust spacing.

This is also true of my use of word processors. I always use the para
spacing to create space between para's, I never use empty line breaks
as do many people.

The advantage I think of adjusting spacing for <p> is that it is
incremental whereas using more than one <br> is not very adjustable.

At least that's the way I see it :)
