Any reason for a dual acting over a spring return?

In theory? Simply the amount of control one gives us over the other. Spring return is by no means a bad thing, but I'm in the camp of thinking that it's best to keep the state of the solenoid after disabling, for safety if for nothing else.
In reality, it depends on the application. If it turns out it might be better to use spring return, we can always pick some up. I figure it makes more sense to buy ones that are a bit more versatile.
