the ever popular answer "it depends"

how large are the tables you are storing in these datafiles? Is this a
data warehouse where you will be storing massive amounts of data? (1000
2GB datafiles to store one table's worth of data is somewhat obscene)

Is it a large database? Heavily used? OLTP? 

I'm not making fun, it's just that a blanket statement "what are the
pros and cons" just doesn't make sense
