The advantage that I see with TikZ is that the font is *exactly* the font used in the surrounding text, no matter the scaling of the axes. A major reason for me to use TikZ was actually that I can rescale my figures later, without having to regenerate the plots anew, tinkering with font sizes to make them ~sort of~ match. (Also, one can use LaTeX colors in the plots, e.g. (as in my case), corporate colors as defined in the presentation template.)
