The thing with SC is, when something bad happens in a connection, which
crashes the server, e.g. due to a bug in the engine or a faulty UDF, all
connections are affected. This is probably the reason why people still
prefer Classic over SC. SC might be easier to manage, because you only
see one process in the task manager and according to some benchmarks, SC
seems to be a bit faster than Classic.

I guess you know this architecture comparison sheet already?
