It looks better, resolves abiguous icons, and with EBB-style bars it makes it easier to tell if de/buffs are about to expire. Also, with EBB it's really not much more screen space than the default buffbars -- being able to identify buffs by the name in addition to the icon means the icon can be smaller, and they don't look stupid with no spacing like the default icons would.
As with most UI customizations, it's mostly just a taste thing, though.
