An advantage of turn-on-... (and turn-off-...) is that is simplifies
adding it to a hook:

  (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
  (add-hook 'text-mode-hook (lambda () (flyspell-mode 1)))

BTW, AFAICS the `flyspell-mode' entry in the defcustom of
`text-mode-hook' toggles `flyspell-mode' instead of turning it on:

(defcustom text-mode-hook nil
  "Normal hook run when entering Text mode and many related modes."
  :type 'hook
  :options '(turn-on-auto-fill flyspell-mode)
  :group 'data)

Bye, Reiner.
