Use event schedule rather than trigger?

I have been using a TRIGGER to log data from one table to another. The TRIGGER is called on UPDATE. The problem is that I want to limit how often data is logged. This is proving difficult with a TRIGGER (at least for me).

Yesterday I was introduced to the Event Scheduler, which I am now using to dump the log tables out to csv files and empty the tables once a day.

Now I am wondering if I would be better off just using the event scheduler to do logging too then I could just specify a time period for data to logged?

What are the pros vs cons here?
