Only if you need to use the drive in OS 8.0 or earlier should you really consider HFS Standard on an iMac, and I don't think anything prior to 8.1 will run on an iMac anyway.
You wouldn't have a choice. Nothing before 8.1 supports HFS+.
This is why i'd only consider it if I was running a version of Mac OS prior to 8.1 :)
There's really no reason to use regular HFS anymore, unless there's a really old mac (pre-PPC) involved.
HFS+ slows down older machines, and that includes 601 and 603/e CPUs (603e above 150MHz should be fine). I have set up a Quadra for 640x480 video capture - I'm used to squeezing every last ounce of power out of it :D.
