SQL Server Data-tier Application (DAC) or Sql Server Database Project - Visual Studio 2010

I am trying to figure out which one to use and when.

I found out via this post that:
  • The SQL Server Data-tier Applciation (DAC) project type *only* works with SQL Server 2008 R2 databases
Although this instance of SQL Server is available, this seems like quite a restriction - i'm tempted to instantly dismiss this project type in favour of the Sql Server Database Project.

I found out via this post that:
  • The Sql Server Database Project (*.dbproj)  "...will import all objects from your database as SQL scripts. This can be stuck into source control."

    DAC supports SQL Azure, 2008R2, 2008 SP2 and above, and 2005 SP4 and above.
