The stand alone version of FB2 is pretty much a customized distribution of Eclipse based on (at the moment) Eclipse 3.1.2, so you get all the functionality and extensibility of Eclipse.
The major difference is that many of the features that come preinstalled with the default distribution of Eclipse (the JDT, for example) aren't bundled with FB2, while the Flex Builder feature is.

Bottomline: If you plan on working with more than just Flex in the same IDE, you're probably better off choosing the plugin. If on the other hand, you pretty much only do Flex based stuff anyway, you should use the FB2 distribution.
