[boost] Test monitor vs. unit test framework

I have quite a bunch of tests which use test execution monitor and look like 
this

   int test_main(int ac, char* av[])
   {
        test_a();
        test_b();
   }

and so on. There's another method, in which there's "init_unit_test_suite" 
method, which returns a property initialized test_suite object. 

What are the advandates of the second method, assuming all my tests will be 
free-standing functions? Is there something that I loose by not switching to 
that method? I'm really trying to understand if I should invest any time into 
this.

TIA,
Volodya
