What are the pros and cons for using cycles to render an outdoor scene?
Note: I have access to a Nvida GTX 670, so I can use CUDA to speed up the cycles rendering.

2$\begingroup$ This is easy. Blender Internal: quick rendering. Cycles: more accurate, making it easier to achieve photo realism. I leave the task of a detailed answer to someone more knowledgeable than I. $\endgroup$– Nathan OsmanCommented Feb 24, 2014 at 18:17

$\begingroup$ @NathanOsman BI is quicker by default, but once you start enabling things to make it look more realistic (AO, environment lighting, indirect lighting, etc.) in my experience it ends up slower than cycles (which is actually designed for animations). $\endgroup$– gandalf3Commented Feb 24, 2014 at 19:39

$\begingroup$ CVed as a concrete answer just depends on too many factors (what kind of look you are going for, the exact nature of the scene, the complexity of the scene, etc. etc.) $\endgroup$– gandalf3Commented Dec 15, 2014 at 20:17
