Studless
- Much sturdier structuers
- More robotic look
- Most colors match or go together
- The NXT is built to work with them
- Good flexibility
- Can easily change direction without becoming structurally unsound
- BUT you do not get the small intervals and becomes flimsy as the weigt increases
Studded
- Intervals are smaller
- Will never be "off" (not exactly in place)
- LEGO look
- Has more structure
- Very good for large structures
- BUT does not handle falls well
Both
- Offers pros from both building styles
- Allows sturdiness aswell as ability to use small intervalls (good for things such as ball casters)
- BUT it doesn't look very good and the switch-over point will be very easy to break
Overall I think it depends on what you want to build. The TriBot, for example, would be very bad with bricks because it relies on the flexibility and light-weight structure of pegs, axles and beams. In my BCR (Ball Caster Robot) (I will release more on this soon) I need to use both so I can have a ball caster which prevents the ball from wobbling. But if you want to build a huge elevator you would use bricks because they would support the large weight better. So there you have it, and I'm sure I may have to come back to this in the future
