Any advantage to using DNS at the registrar?

I've always had my DNS settings on the server (via WHM/cPanel), but I did some poking around and figured out how to set them up at the registrar.

Is there an advantage to setting up DNS at the registrar? Improved page load, decreased server load? Or is that really just used when you don't have the option of setting them up at the server?

in the interests of not putting all of your eggs in one basket, i would suggest at least in critical applications to use separate service providers for your domain registrar, your DNS, and your web server.
there is no technical advantage to using the same service provider as each of these services uses a different protocol.
