It has basically all of the benefits of Ubuntu, with few of the drawbacks.
The biggest benefits for me personally:
1. I have a laptop with optimus graphics. Pop played nicely out of the box.
2. Uses flatpak instead of snap. I prefer native to flatpak, but flatpak to snap.
3. Has very little bloat in a default install.
4. System76 has been consistently moving in the right direction UI wise.
