I think the main advantage, if you consider it one, is you can pick more at once. If you plan to can or freeze any vegetable, you can almost always pick more at one picking if you grow a bush or dwarf type. If you prefer to eat fresh and like to spread your harvest out, you can grow the tall varieties. I believe that over the course of a full season, your total harvest will be bigger with the tall varieties though, whether it's peas, tomatoes, whatever. It might be a headache or a bigger expense for some to use taller supports, as well, so they may prefer the shorter plants.
