but you will have the problem of different "namespaces" which make
passing of arguments a little harder. IIRC there are some options to
bypass this problem.

The flexform can be customized pretty much by its possibilities to
hide/show fields, for example based on the chosen
switchableControllerAction.

I "always" use the second way and only add separate plugins for really
separated functionality that is mostly isolated.

Another "more dirty" approach I have lately used is to forward to other
actions inside the default action, for example based on wether an
argument is set or not.
