I use Standalone's in cases where the qubes is either based on an OS
that I normally don't use...
-> Windows 7 (win-only tools for work)
-> Fedora (Qubes builder only)
... or when it needs a lot of packages and tools that none of the other
qubes needs:
-> dev qube (IDEs, dev tools, hex editor, logic analyzer, traffic
analyzer etc.)
-> also some USB drivers for debug tools I could only make work
in Standalone HVM but that's likely a limitation of my knowledge
