Use of Setting 'Notice' versus Setting 'Order'

Someone recently said:

I watched part of a hearing this morning in Llano which even further convinced me that using setting notices, instead of setting orders, is a really bad idea.

I'd like some feedback on this notion. What experience have others had? Suggestion? Alternate ideas from your practice in other jurisdictions?
