Extraction vs. List

Hello. I've been in the museum/Tessitura world for 5 weeks now. Recently I did the courses for lists and extractions. 

I'm wondering if you could share how you use lists, versus how you use extractions. What purposes are you using these features for? Thanks in advance.

    I usually only use Extractions only if the data will be associated with a promotion, or is being extracted for use in an external system. Lists to my mind are any group of constituents I might ever want to refer to again, for any purpose, though if I want that grouping to be visible/query-able in the client I might assign the List members an Attribute and toss the List.
