The benefit of live axles comes from being able to use the axle as the transmission of power to the wheel. As opposed to bolting the sprocket directly to the wheel and placing bearings in the wheel, the live axle setup transmits power from the sprocket through the axle to the wheel.
Some setups may only function with a live axle setup. However given the choice between dead or live axle....I use dead axle wherever and whenever I can.
Art- If your supporting the shaft on both sides anyways (assuming a wheel your using can have a bolt pattern), then bolting each end of the shaft in place is even more simple IMO, instead of having to turn down the ends of the shafts.
