Stop motion animation is one storytelling technique that can be used to advantage by the director who employs this style. Given the monies involved in paying actors, vis a vis the monies paid to stop-motion animators, there could be an economic advantage. There may be actions that are required by the story that no actor could perform. Engaging an audiences' imagination involves the audience in the story, and stop-motion animation forces suspension of disbelief, because the character is not known for other work.
Stop-motion animation was used in The Nightmare Before Christmas. Models of the characters were placed and moved frame by frame as each motion step was photographed.
Stop frame is more tedious because you have to animate every single frame of your sequence. Keyframe is a little bit easier because you only have to animate every few frames (the key ones) and the software will animate the rest in between your keyframes.
