Providers are for when you have some common functionality that has more than one implementation. Example: a session cache mechanism with an in-memory and an on-disk implementation. Optional functions let you expose your functions to other modules. Example: mod_foo exports a function get_num_processed_requests() that mod_bar calls when it generates a status page. I wager that optional functions are what you're looking for.
