In principle, you can do the same things with both PCF and MQSC. It is my understanding that MQSC does not place messages on the admin queue nor does it require the command server to be running.
PCF gives you full programatic control ... but it also requires that you write an app. Thankfully, there are a lot of good wrapper libraries available to make this task easier.

Another advantage to MQSC is that you can create all of your definitions in a file that you can pipe into runmqsc and copy around easily from machine to machine.
