Spark skins are optimized for better integration of designer and developer. Spark skins are new and seems simple as compared to flex4. Flex4 skins were a bit complex when it comes to designing part.

Spark skins were introduced in flex4 and the old Halo skins were the basic skins. If you are creating a small application and does not required much design and style changes then it fine to use either of the components. In case of large project where the designer and developer is working separately then Spark skins can give you advantage.

Spark components are new and improved. The design part is completely separate from the logical functioning of the components. So its possible to create logically same components with completely different design. Also the design can be highly optimized due to lot of flexibility. Designing team can work separately without any interference to logical part.
In Old Halo components designing was limited by using css, styles, images and swf files. Cannot be highly optimized. The logical functions were connected to design elements of the component and thus there was limit up-to what the design can be changed.
