Hopefully soon, the new_spells table will become the standard way to handle loading spells. Once that is the case, GeorgeS could change his tools to load spells directly from that table, which would make them always line up with what your server is using for items and such. That is another good reason to use the new database spells instead of using the spells_us.txt file to load spells.
Really, we need something like the Ailia/Bleh spell editor that would work directly from the database table instead of the spells file. Having a good tool to manage them is one of the only thing that holds the new way back from becoming standard. Either way, you can always export the table back into a spells file and edit it and then import it back into the table again. But, it would be very nice if the spell tool would just use the database directly.
