I think that if it is possible to do so, including something within the game is generally preferable to requiring people to edit important files - even though, as mentioned, you should always back them up beforehand.

The ability to edit the files gives the user much more power over how his league behaves. I'm not against in-game switches on principle, but I personally prefer being able to do things my way, rather than someone else's.
If OOTP did not allow the breadth of customization that it does, and I was forced to play things basically out of the box, I would not invest the time I do into this game.
