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
