Basically determines how much drag you'd like on the aircraft. Having the brake off will allow the prop disc to free wheel and slow down the plane quite quickly, even in a dive. The prop brake on will remove this drag and allow you to do things like power off terminal velocity dives and 29 minute gliding flights!
Like everything, comes down to personal taste but of late I prefer the prop brake on for my stryker, the only caveat is you have to get used to a long glide before landing which makes things tricky if you like planting the thing at your feet
