Although the inexpensive yet high sensitivity units are nice I'm not sure why someone would choose a positioning MTK (e.g. Adafruit) over a timing Ublox (or even an old Motorola style timing receiver).
Sometimes, continuing availability is a bigger design driver. If you want something that you can make for the next 2 or 3 years, then depending on surplus new-old-stock is a dicey proposition.
While the specific part that Adafruit sells may go away, it is extremely likely that there will be a virtually equivalent (as in pin compatible/software compatible) part available into the future.
Ublox is, I think, in that category of "will be available in some form for a while"
Or it might be as simple as "if I buy it from Adafruit, it will be delivered tomorrow, and has instructions on how to hook it up".
