ISO: Hot Pack v. Cold Pack - How do you choose?

Misc.
I'm new at canning vegetables - but I started out with the Ball Canning guide as a reliable source of canning information. While the methods of hot packing and cold packing are described in detail, I can't find any mention of why you should choose one method over the other.

And a related question -- why choose to brine pickles rather than fresh pack (which seems a WHOLE lot simpler.)

Thanks! (I've got a garden producing mass quantities of cucumbers and beans right now...so I would appreciate the help.)
