Preloaded templates are great to get an article up to a good standard style and formatting - they are slightly less newbie-friendly, but I find that new users normally edit pages before creating their own ones themselves, and so are fairly familiar with wikicode when they start creating their own pages. The main advantage is their flexablity - which is a huge one in my opinion.
