IIRC - dynamic discs aren't visible from DOS, and I'm not sure how recovery would work with them. They're primary (only?) use is for Windows' software RAID (RAID 0 - striping - in pro variants, RAID 1 and 5 in server variants, nothing available in home variants). Other then that, there's no advantage of dynamic discs.
Basic discs are what's usually created by FDISK and similar apps - it's the method that most other x86-based OS's use and so is most compatible.
