Image - Paste into table vs. Insert Object linked or unlinked

I have a form in which one of the columns will show a picture. Is there any
difference when using the form if I paste in the image or use "Insert
Object".
When looking at the underlying table after closing the form:
If the image is pasted, it shows "Picture" as the value in the field
If the image is put in via Insert Object and it is unlinked, it shows
"Package"
When I look at the "Bound Object Frame", I see no difference in values. I
see identical images when viewing the form.
My initial take on it is if the image won't change, go ahead and paste it
in. If the document may change, then it should be linked.
Is there a preferred method?What program are you using?
