The usual deciding factor on this is whether or not you
want to control the network traffic created. Stub zones by default are
going to pull in the records of all the name servers for that zone based on
manual refresh or refresh interval. For conditional forwarders you
will designate the name server manually every time.
It would seem that if you have multiple sites (WAN) you may
want to control the name resolution path on the wire. Depends on the
needs.
Read Deji's doc if he posts it. He's got a lot to say
about names last I checked. :)

Subject: [ActiveDir] DNS Question - Conditional Forwarding or Secondary Zone Stub
I’ve done some reading but can’t seem to surmise the best practice when trying to decide between using a secondary stub or conditional forwarding when both technologies could address a requirement. I’ve a situation for a disjointed namespace where the root servers would hold the zone. Since either secondary stub or conditional forwarding would solve it, what’s the best approach for this?
TIA
