The only difference I've come across is streams + lobs work properly in
the new driver, they don't work quite right with PDO_ODBC. So if you're
doing lobs and want to use them as php streams, use the new driver.
However PDO is getting a fix for this bug... this may not be true in the
future.
Otherwise, no there is no benefit.
