I think the primary benefits would be: 1. Familiarity - Polymer elements are written primarily in HTML, CSS and vanilla JavaScript. It's very easy for someone who is comfortable taking a design from Photoshop and slicing it up into HTML/CSS to start creating Polymer elements. React components are written entirely in JavaScript (I believe the CSS can be written in JavaScript as well) and requires learning a bit more of the framework to get something up on screen.
2. Shadow DOM - Polymer elements do a really nice job of scoping their CSS styles so they don't affect anything else on the page. This can be really ideal for a widget library because it essentially sandboxes each widget's CSS so they don't interfere with one another.
