The obvious one! Without gives a smaller export file, and is probably the preferred method when simply backing up your work from the design area.

The difference becomes apparent when you import. If the export contains compatible executables, you can run straight away in the new project. If the export lacks executables, you need to compile in the new environment before you can run. That's the theory, anyway. To check that all dependencies are satisfied I prefer to compile after import in all cases.

As per my understanding,

When you export with executable, you dont need to re-compile the code after import.

When you export without executable, you need to re-compile the code after import.

Well good idea to do export without executables
Benefits are
1)Small file easy to import to UAT or Production
2)You can always do compile all so why we need with executable .
3)if you saving your code in source code due to size of file it will be easy to check in and out
