  2. [DateTimeColumn] > @StartDate AND[DateTimeColumn] <= @EndDate

    BETWEEN operator uses inclusive ends of the interval. Use specific compare operations whenever you are looking to exclude one or both ends of the interval.

    Additionally, BETWEEN is convenient when you test against a complex expression: for example, writing something like

    ... AND CASE WHEN A>0 THEN open_date ELSE close_date END BETWEEN '01/01/2012' AND '05/01/2012'

    is easier than repeating the CASE expression twice.
