What are the advantages/disadvantages of perforce “jobs” over an external but tracking system?

Nothing. Take it from someone who endured years of aggravation working with the Perforce/FogBugz integration mechanisms (the latest being the Perforce Defect Tracking Gateway which uses Perforce jobs as part of the integration). They provide very little return on a significant investment in time setting them up and then trying to figure what went wrong when they stop working (which is often).

I now do just what you suggest. I simply put the FogBugz case number in the Perforce check-in comment, then add that Perforce changelist number to the FogBugz case upon resolving it. As simple and reliable as it gets.
