<cfset> always sets the value <cfparam> only sets the value if it is undefined (not blank, but truly undefined).
For me, <cfif> and <cfswitch> is a matter of coding style. In other languages, you could have multiple valid cases, and it would go through all valid cases, but CF only finds the first valid case. <cfswitch> is supposed to be faster. What is a variable pool? A "scope"?
