Cantilevered drive wheels?

I have found that most drivetrains have the drive wheels supported on both sides like the kitbot base. Some however have their drive wheels cantilevered on the outside of their base.
Here are 2 cantilevered bases. (very good robots)

Here are 2 non-cantillevered bases.

Which do you use? Why?
What are the advantages to each of them?
