Control is more "puristic" in that it hides all objects from outside reference, so it helps you to write more manageable code.

If you had a timer control on the container it would be like:

loContainerObject = Newobject("MyContainer","Classlib.vcx")
loContainerObjecct.tmr.Enabled = .T.

With a control it properly hides the timer and you need to create a method on the control:

loControlObject = Newobject("MyControl","Classlib.vcx")
loControlObject.Start()

Latter is the better solution, because the calling object should not need to understand the inner plumbing of the object's logic. This is the same logic in C# for instance, so other developers might be more familiar with it.
