Far simpler to service, more precise, less drag resistance going with traditional.
I am not sure what is not simple about servicing cartridge bearings, you take them out, put some new ones in with shot of grease and you are done. I also dispute the drag resistance, every cartridge bearing hub I have had spun smoothly practically forever.
