Pros of Windows Scheduler (as you see I don't know much about it):

- Single view for all scheduled job, easier to administrate
- No need to re-invent the wheel

Cons:
- Requires a licence?
- Cannot launch dll's? (if this is a requirement)
- Need to learn another product

Pros of doing your own service:
- Can be customized to meet your exact needs
- Does not require skill or license for another product

Cons:
- May be more complicated for users to have several ways of scheduling jobs
- Requires more coding
