Fonts not included can sometimes speeds up things when you are coding, but I
never use this feature -- too much dangerous.
I never used full inclusion too, but it's a prepress job (and yes, I have a
prepress office);
there is also ghostscript that does this kind of distiller stuffs.
Full inclusion can be useful, at least to cover the same feature of pdftex.
