In fact I've found that there is usually (always?) a subtle advantage in
using one or other of a command which apparently does the same thing, and

eg
When the cursor is in the middle of a word you wish to delete
diw has a distinct advantage over bdw
But what is it?
In mapping. bdw cannot be used generically to delete the word under
cursor. Single letter objects is one case. Other one is when the cursor is
at the start of the word (I know you are talking when cursor is in the
middle). When you are doing the operation visually, I do not see much
advantage with one over the other.
