There is slightly less overhead to "submit" a binary, because there is no need to spool the job script.
Also, we used to tell our users that they can change the job scripts after submission, and that's one small advantage of submitting job scripts. However, in most use cases just users just need to run a simple command, so a full shell script is not needed.
