They do not spill. They do not require filling of water, etc.

My understanding is that they survive an unusually deep discharge with less damage than an FLA, but they do not do well if left discharged deeply for a long time, or if not pretty fully recharged most of the time.
Another advantage, for those of us who store the boat over a cold winter, is that they are less susceptible to freezing damage.
