Strictly a coding preference. In the early days of Flex, there were a lot of reported problems with non-default contentType, and I established my back-end technology to handle strings. It works great and is very simple. Passing true XML adds a level of complexity over strings. Might have other benefits though.
All of my free advice comes with a money-back guarantee.

Is it something with best practice or just a coding preference? :D (I've done lots where I change the content type to XML - so if there's a security issue or something along those lines, it'd be helpful! :D)
