At a high level:
JavaScript - use when you need some immediate interaction on the form, like calculations, pulling in external data, hiding/showing fields, etc... This code will not run during imports or other background updates. Suited best for short running processes as the code is processed in the browser - could run into problems with long running processes if the browser gets closed in the middle.
Plugins - use when you need some sort of custom action to happen either through a form event, import, or some other background process effects the record. Suited well for items that require more complex functionality that might run longer as the processing can be run asynchronously on the server and not tie up the user on the front end.
Workflows - use when you need to have non-developers create and use automation, can be extended with custom workflow activities (.NET) to include more complex things.
