I use both. SP1 was a performance update that had most benefits, but SP2 included a few more performance advantages such as better support for multicore CPUs, etc.

I can see little reason why one would not want to install them (Unless you have the acceleration pack that includes them).

Flight Simulator X Service Pack 1 addresses these post-release customer concerns:

Activation and installation
Third-party add-on issues
Performance enhancements
Content issues

SP2 amongst other things includes better multi-monitor support and a DX10 preview mode (though it's too buggy for most).

Use both if you intend to use ANY aftermarket product in FSX. No-one makes addons that aren't compatible with the current version unless they predate the arrival of those service packs in which case they're old and most likely unsupported.
