sql reporting services is designed to create reports for the web. Although you can still use it in winforms. While crystla reports.net (the one bundled in VS) is built for winforms. The main advantage that I can see of in using Crystal reports is that you don't have to have a sql server installed to be able to create reports.
Also, the GUI of Crystal is more advanced than that of Sql Reporting services. If I were to choose between the two, it depends on the project. If its a winforms project then I would definitely go for Crystal Reports (for the ease of use) but if its a web project then I would be using sql reporting services.
