You should really ask the author/maintainer, not me. However, my understanding is this: The ub driver is intended to be low-overhead (it doesn't use the SCSI layer) and somewhat more reliable than usb-storage, for the subclass of devices which it can handle. The disadvantages include its inability to handle devices with special needs (as you've seen) and its low performance.
