When should I contribute to my IRA over my 401k401(k)?

I know there are a few different factors to this, such as if you've reached the contribution limit for the year on your 401k401(k). With a 401k401(k) you can get employer contribution matching and a higher contribution limit.

So other than reaching the contribution limit on your 401k401(k), when would you want to contribute to an IRA over a 401k401(k)? Does traditional versus rothRoth accounts make a difference?
