They allow you to be able to change the spring to different psi/bar ratings.
Therefore, stiffer springs can help if your set-up has issues holding boost.
Plus you can 'customise' them with different length arms, etc. (should you have a customised turbo set-up).
Plus, they look nice lol.
I have the TD05/6 version fitted to my TD05H 20g - with the stiffest spring fitted. IIRC, red @ 18-22psi.

On how much boost you want to run.
more preload = the wastergate opening later/higher turbine speed/higher boost
then of course if you wish to run more boost than the spring preload, you will need a boost controller of some sort. (pref not a dawes type device)

It will come with a spring already in the w/g housing -- but can't recall which of the 4 ratings it is.
You'd only need to change it to a higher rated spring if the wastegate had trouble holding whatever boost your car's running. But ordinarily, you wouldn't have to worry.
The lowest psi/bar rating of the spring tells you the relative boost at which the spring will start to compress i.e. to move the arm and begin to open the wastegate (and dump the charge).
