Advantages of a waterproof textile:
- not having to stop before or during inclement weather
- can wear comfortable / situation-appropriate clothes underneath; could dress for riding and hiking at the same time, just peel off the suit...
- with a liner I may not have to layer up as much in the cold
Disadvantages:
- probably not great in really warm weather
- looks bulky to move around in while not riding
- tricky trying to bunch a one-piece around your ankles in a public toilet
