It is perfect solution when you have just few options to choose. Its main advantage that you can see all options immediately without additional clicking. Button group needs one click less than selectbox to provide action.
Here's how it might look on Manage content page. Both options are chosen. It is analog of "- Any -" option.
Here's one option chosen.
