I just compared the length of the help/usage output of pacmd vs. pactl and 
went with the longer...

pacmd seems to have support for 
set-log-xxx
global suspend
describe-module
update-xxx-proplist
set-default
kill
play-file
which pactl lacks

and pacmd can be considered a test/debug tools for scripts executed by the 
daemon
