Best Answer
The choice as to which to use comes down to the degree of formality of your text, and possibly also how much space you have available (e.g. when putting together a PowerPoint slide).
In general, using & implies a much more informal tone than and.
You will never be criticized for using and, whereas you run the risk of disapproval if you use & in anything but informal notes, tweets and the like.
