I'm not a coder, just a user of Sourcemod. I started out running my TF2 server with beetlesmod and manimod. After a while and lack of support, I decided to move to Sourcemod which I believe is easier and more customizable. In mani & beetles, they give you the basics that come with the package. But with sourcemod, they give you the basics such as reserveslots, nextmap vote, admin menu, etc. Plus Sourcemod has plugins available to install by other coders, which is easy as pie.

The best way to understand is go ahead and install 1) Metamod (not sure what the heck it is, but SM needs is to run) and 2) Sourcemod. The wiki is very helpful to install. You can become an avid user of SM is a day.
