what are pros and cons of using HttpContext-based cache vs. System.Runtime.Cache?

I'm in a webapplication so either HttpContext or HttpContextBase will be available. I'm wondering what are the differences that would weigh in on choosing one over the other if any?

vs.

Well, this sentence in the System.Runtime.Caching documentation says most of it:

"The classes in this namespace provide a way to use caching facilities like those in ASP.NET, but without a dependency on the System.Web assembly."

Use the one in the System.Web namespace if it's a web application, and the other if it's not.
