What's the difference, and why would you use one verses the other? Is it common to see problems that could be solved with either one?
They are similar but custom workflow activity is triggered within the workflow where the plugin triggers based on the event you registered to in the registration tool (I believe you can also trigger plugin by combining action and javascript).
There is already a topic that discuss the differences:

I use both plugin and custom workflow activities. I chooses custom workflow activities for tasks which require constant modification. For examples, sales orders needs to be auto assign to specific users based on complex logic that cannot be done in regular workflow. For this, I will build the complex logic in custom workflow activity, and use regular workflow to invoke the logic, and assign users within regular workflow. This way, you can always go back to regular workflow to switch users without the need to constantly go back to plugin and change the code.
