CGOS has many strong points: it automatically schedules games, it has a lot of
sample points to drive the ELO ratings, it preserves game records, and it has
many participating programs. It also distinguishes between versions of the
programs - important to consider when the CGL games span several years. Does
anyone know which version of go++ is at the top of the CGL, and which versions
of which programs were beaten to accomplish that result?
The Computer Go Ladder, on the other hand, includes a number of programs which
are not presently represented in the CGOS field. It also attempts to define
differences in terms of handicap stones, which is more familiar to most Go
players than elo points. On the downside, it appears to depend on a very small
set of games, does not preserve all game records, and operates on a glacially
slow timescale.

It seems far less automatic, so I would think it has disadvantages.
Cheers,
