On sod I do it strictly for aesthetics. It looks a little better after being rolled, though I know watering it settles it down anyway. I use mine mainly for packing when putting down a base for walkways and when leveling.
I have only done a few small sod jobs and have not used a roller. Supposedly it presses the sod down into the soil so it all makes good contact. I figured I was accomplishing this by just walking on it, but on a larger job I would probably use a roller if I had one.
