If you change the metadata later (title, author, series), you won't have to delete and resend the books. Calibre will automatically update the metadata on your Kobo the next time you connect it. Calibre will also sort the books on your Kobo into collections, you won't have to do it manually on the device.
Of course, if you don't use Calibre to manage your library, then there won't be any difference whether it's a Kindle or a Kobo. Dragging and dropping via the file explorer works the same way on both. But you cannot change the book data on the device without deleting and re-copying the files.
