Winbash has "just bash", nothing else. If you can write all your scripts with bash features alone, this is fine, because you have a simple environment and don't have to care about installation and package dependencies.
As soon as you need some external tools, you need to install for instance the utilities found in GnuWin32 (
GnuWin32). Of course in this case, you can equally well install Cygwin in the first place.
In the past, Cygwin had the disadvantage that you could not do a portable installation and you needed local admin rights to install it. Recently this imporved a lot, so this is not really an argument anymore.
