Reference model vs subsystem

What would you say are the pros and cons for reference systems and subsystems, more exactly for what do we use each of these, what are the selection criteria for choosing each, main and subtle? Thank you if you take some time to answer.

The official document is here. It gives comparison between Subsystems, libraries and model referencing. It also provided some General Componentization Guidelines.

Great answer!
The documentation has evolved a bit with the introduction of new features and in 2023 Choose Among Types of Model Components - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com) offers a simpler, high-level overview of the differences between the available components:
  • Subsystem
  • Linked Subsystem (library)
  • Subsystem Reference
  • Model Reference
Compare Capabilities of Model Components - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com) has a more in-depth comparison of their capabilities.
