Advance to control page allows you to use the BACK command to return to the previous page, so think of it as navigating in a browser - while the replace replaces the contents of the current page with the contents of the requested page, more of an "AJAX' type of operation that doesn't navigate you elsewhere but rather updates what is here. I use the replace 99% of the time because I don't want to have to page back one page at a time if I want to return to a particular page. Of course my control page designs tend to be complex enough that I don't use BACK anyway, instead opting to have nav controls on each page so I can just instantly pop into where I need to be.
To see how it works, try using both and then use BACK to see how they do different things.
