You use the asynchronous method to prevent blocking the calling thread. Also, it is preferable to use this approach as opposed to creating your own dedicated thread that will use the sync method. This is .NET general-purpose advice, better to let .NET do the async work, than to create your own dedicated threads.
EDIT: Here is one question that might be of interest to you regarding MSMQ and EndReceive, which is part of the asynchronous model for MSMQ in .NET.
