LVM allows me to resize my "partitions" if I need to without the issue of moving the others around since LVM doesn't care about physical location of blocks. If I shrinkg one volume I can expand another no matter where they are physically stored in the LVM, while with partitions you can only do this with adjacent partitions. I can also add more disks to the LVM later and expand existing partitions to start using the space on the new drives. I like the flexibility.
