IMO it is always better to use events in a plugin which is for the general public. But if you are looking for better performance and is a support plugin, rather than a standalone plugin, then it is always better to use callbacks (as there is no event bubbling emulated).
It is better to use jQuery.Callbacks (since v1.7) which is, as per the documentation:
rather than a custom callbacks handler.
