There are additional patches to the SuSE supplied kernels, that provide things like the twofish encrypted crypto filesystem, and a more recent SBLive! driver than is probably in the "stock" kernel. There are probably dozens of these updates across the entire kernel. In short, the SuSE kernel (in theory) should work better than the stock kernel.
To each his own.... I am not aware of anything I am missing.
Go into "Block Devices" and look for "Twofish encryption for loop device". Is it there in the vanilla kernel? If it is, then maybe there isn't that much difference, but it's there in my SuSE kernel, and 3 of my filesystems are encrypted. If I were to go with the vanilla kernel, and it didn't have this, I wouldn't even be able to boot.
