It seems by default, many of the fail2ban jails are rejecting incoming traffic with this iptables option:
  reject-with icmp-port-unreachable

Is there an advantage of doing this over simply just DROP'ing the packets themselves?

Wouldn't this let the remote system know you're actively closing a potentially un-opened port, vs, if you just never replied to the inquiry they remote system would believe there is no service at that port?

I'm curious what the best way to stop repeat traffic might be?
