I use RW sometimes when I am playing around with iDVD to make sure things look OK. I used one the other day to make a music MP3 DVD to test in my DVD player. I was surprised at how much music I was able to put on one DVD. And with Toast I was able to use cover art in the menus. I put all of my 20 R.E.M. albums on one DVD.
Back to the question. Some DVD burners allow bitsetting which will turn a +R into a DVD-ROM (kind of anyway). This can fool some older video players into playing a burned DVD that they might not otherwise play. That is the only benefit that I know of for +R that is not available for -R
I have heard that -R is generally thought of as more compatible but all equipment these days plays both.
