    Main thing is center sets can be flipped if you need to even out wear

    Sidesets have the smoothest transition from grip to slide to grip, but have pronounced coning you have to deal with (no big deal IMO).
    Offsets have a sharper transition and overall more grip but wear more evenly.
    Main advantage of centesets is, like Ogre said, that you can flip them to even out coning.
