"Is there a hard written rule here when to use the physical interface or not
on a certain scenario ???"
One scenario where you wouldn't want to point a static route out an
interface is if the interface is broadcast, multi-access and CEF and
proxy-ARP are turned on. Invalid CEF adjacencies (and consequently routing
loops) can occur.
