Internal vs. External

I'm currently studying C++ and have done a little work with coding trainers for smaller games without anti cheats such as Assault Cube and am looking into counterstrike games. Something I have very little knowledge about is the internal vs. external debate. I understand what makes a cheat internal or external, but what I don't understand is why to use one or the other. Are there advantages to using one? Disadvantages? Anything you guys could share with me about this topic would be really appreciated.

Internal cheats are usually dll's that are injected into the game. All the processing that the cheat needs to do is done within the game itself, this also means it can call on functions that are actually in the game.

External run in a separate process and read/write data from the game. All the calculations that the cheat requires on the data such as normalizing the angles, counteracting punch, smoothing the angle change are all done inside the process of the external cheat.
