SFWPOH!
 I forgot that CFAs could be called from another form.
 I store RUN SELECTS in an InternalCode table cuz they could be called from anywhere.
 So compare CFA vs RunSel:
 RunSel: If you're in form designer, you don't need to close the form and open MenuForm to edit (due to poor planning ;) or create a "global" CFA
 Portability to a new db - toss-up?  Generic MainMenu with CFAs vs unloading InternalCode table & importing into new database.
 Incremental updates from test db to production: Cut & Paste for both?
 Security against unauthorized editing and prying eyes?  Probably CFA.
 more...?

My vote is for Custom Form Actions. They become part of the application and can be called 
from elsewhere like
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM_ACTION MyMenuForm|CalledFormAction ' '
note : your main menu form would need the componentid MyMenuForm

 v9.x developers:
 
 When creating new forms, do you prefer to create:
 
 a) Individual EEPs, or;
 b) Custom Form Actions?
 
 Just wondering.
