PowerShell: System.Object or PSObject?

Question

I have recently started using custom objects inside a few of my PowerShell scripts. Upon looking around online I noticed that there are two ways to create these objects

$Obj1 = New-Object System.Object
$Obj2 = New-Object PSObject

They both have the functionality that I needed, such as setting custom properties for necessary information to be held.
