The advantages of shared/DLL libraries include:

Storage space is reduced
Memory may be used more efficiently by the operating system at run-time

In general, an application can use either static or shared/DLL libraries without modification to its source code.

Also, if you need to create your own custom ACIS component as a shared library, the component must meet certain requirements in order to be built as a shared ACIS library.
