>>>What would the determining factors be for using the MQ Adapter as
opposed
>>>to MQ Bridge with CICS?

The big one would probably be whether or not you are willing to able to
embed the MQ verbs in your CICS program. With the adapter, you have use the
MQ verbs in your CICS program; with the bridge, it is possible to invoke a
DPL or ECI-complient program without change.

On the other hand, the bridge limits you to the amount of data you can fit
into a COMMAREA, and requires that the CICS program conform to the DPL
subset of the CICS API.
