O/Us tend to be a bit less expensive than a side by side, or at least used to be.

A lot of people consider an O/U to be easier to hit with, too, because both barrels are on the same sighting plane, as opposed to being on either side of it.

I personally prefer SxS shotguns simply because I'm a traditionalist.
