Longevity life of the turbo. Will be greater with a water cooled chra.

Pros & Cons:
Pro of the water cooled is longer life
Con of the water cooled is lines / issues with leaks / clutter of the bay / extra money to install

Pro of oil cooled is cleaner bay / less lines / no problems as long as you follow the general rule of thumb about letting the car idle after hard runs.
Con of oil cooled is less life of the turbo vs a water cooled.

water cooled turbos won't get the oil as hot, require less oil too.

No turbo timer needed.
