Mini/maxi/full images usually last longer than the version they were created for: unless in a later version (in an official game update) the (copy protection) developers find a method to detect the difference between the image and the original CD/DVD, the image will continue to work. No-CD patches, on the other hand, need to be made for every single version (i.e. game update). This means much more work for the crackers...
Also, no-CD patches usually don't work online as they modify the main game executable and you're not allowed to login to official servers with such modifications (also because of the possibility of cheating - see Punkbuster). Images do work online.
