I am under the impression that Spring AOP is best used for application specific tasks such as security, logging, transactions, etc. as it uses custom Java5 annotations as a framework. However, AspectJ seems to be more friendly design-patterns wise.
Can anyone highlight the various pros and cons of using Spring AOP vs AspectJ in a Spring application?

Spring-AOP Pros
It is simpler to use than AspectJ, since you don't have to use LTW (load-time weaving) or the AspectJ compiler.
It uses the Proxy pattern and the Decorator pattern
Spring-AOP Cons
- This is proxy-based AOP, so basically you can only use method-execution joinpoints.
- Aspects aren't applied when calling another method within the same class.
- There can be a little runtime overhead.
- Spring-AOP cannot add an aspect to anything that is not created by the Spring factory
AspectJ Pros
- This supports all joinpoints. This means you can do anything.
- There is less runtime overhead than that of Spring AOP.
AspectJ Cons
- Be careful. Check if your aspects are weaved to only what you wanted to be weaved.
- You need extra build process with AspectJ Compiler or have to setup LTW (load-time weaving)
