Advantage: Simplicity

Disadvantage: must be perfectly lined up to work
Additionally, when carrying 3+ tote stacks, the stack will begin to sag forward, which could cause your container to fall off the top. This is really apparent in some of the later Ri3D vids.
Lastly, if not designed correctly, a hook design can/will damage the handles of the totes.
