Hello,

I am wondering if there is any advantage of running freshclam as a
daemon as oppposed to running it from the crontab a few times day?

Thanks.

It's a matter of taste. I prefer running it in daemon mode, as freshclam is rock solid (eg. it hasn't crashed here for months), and due to it's random start time does not tend to overload the mirrors.
You have to use bashisms or perl (or some really crude sh pipe) to make sure freshclam's cron job does not start exactly on the hour.
