I'd based it on code complexity.
If it's one call (and error handling) to do it then inline makes sense.

If it's  lots of lines, a separate function make sense.

Where the boundary between the two lies is subjective so I tend to
just go with whatever an author prefers.  Note that I'm not keen
to see the noise of refactors if the code lies in this gray area?
