Assuming modules load OK then the advantage is not having to recompile a kernel every time a better module becomes available or your hardware changes and you need additional modules.
I usually find its far quicker to just build a new kernel and not have to muck around with modules that don't load and dependancy lists that don't work etc. etc. in all modules would be a nice system if they were reliable and dependable which in my experience of linux (kernel trees 2.0 2.2 and 2.4) they are not it is not really worth any effort trying to make something work which doesn't and you may as well build things statically.
