I put the dripless on, I think in '91. Haven't thought about it much since then.
I suppose if they have any drawbacks, it could be that you tend to forget about them. I think have re-compressed the hose twice, once when I changed the engine, shaft and tranny in '95 and maybe once since then. No drips.

Now that my new props shaft and prop are ready for the electric motor install, I noticed my stuffing box packing nut is out of round on the inside, so my friendly chandlery guy says this means the stuffing box itself has "ovulated" and I need to replace the whole shooting match so, what says the list? Then, if this was indeed so, traditional vs. dripless? What are the recommendations this time around? I recall years ago a long thread on this, so if no one wants to re-hash it, point me to the source for reading myself.
