value-of or apply-templates

Dear List,

A question on style: if you have a document which consists of a series of 
repeating structures (such as a table of records or a simple document of 
paragraphs) should you use:

<xsl:apply-templates />

or:

<xsl:value-of select=".">

when you get to the node nested at the lowest level and you simply want to get 
its content?

============e.g.====================
DOCUMENT.XML:
<document>
        <para>
                content
        </para>
        <para>
                content
        </para>
</document>
-----------------------------------------------------
TRANSFORM.XSL:
<xsl:template match="/">
        <body>
                <xsl:apply-templates />
        </body>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="para">
        <p><xsl:apply-templates /></p>
        OR
        <p><xsl:value-of select="." /></p>
</xsl:template>
===================================

Cheers,
Richard
