When should I contribute to my IRA over my 401k?

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

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