Efficiency, durability and precise control of speed, compared to normal DC brushed motors. What you give up of course is the most basic form of driving circuitry is much more complicated. This is negated when precise speed control is needed however. For controlling position I believe you are thinking of what's called a "stepper" motor. It is also "brushless", but has many more poles allowing for relatively precise positioning.
