The ladder obviously predates CGOS. It doesn't have any advantages
-- just some differences. I polled the participants last year about
retiring it in light of the advent of CGOS, but some people wanted to
keep going. It's not like it's high overhead for me, so I did.

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.
