Breakpoints placed in methods are saved per the user while TRACE is saved in the method. This means that a specific user's breakpoints will only be seen by them and will only affect themselves. On the other hand, when a TRACE command is placed in a method, all users will see it and be affected by it. This is important to keep in mind while troubleshooting. When choosing between the two, decide whether you want to trigger the debugger for only yourself or for others running throught the method too.
