The main reason for me to take the WebDAV route was the limited hardware I run on. I have a Raspberry 3 as my home server which serves me quite nice for all my needs (contacts, calendar, file sync,...) and I did not want to upgrade just to have more than a few wikis. The problem with Arlen's TiddlyServer was that it starts a new TW instance for everytime a new wiki gets browsed for the first time. Since my Pi runs on 1GB of RAM it was only a question of time when that memory runs full - and I hit that wall, it was not nice.
As far as I can tell from reading Jed's post Bob is for multiuser environments which I have limited use for. My main use for TW is to record and keep track of various projects and things around me, so most of the time it is just me adding stuff to the files. That is also why it is ok for me that the WebDAV saver uploads the full wiki on every save as there are only occasionally updates to the files I have.
