Label leverage has its selling point - main thing is that the ball driller can punch a ball up without much risk. The ball will hook, with littel effort for both driller and player, and everyone is happy.
It is therefore a good beginner setup, because you can do it without knowing a PAP as reference.
Another selling point is the reaction you get: smooth hook, strong midlane read, tame back end. Ideal for beginners because the ball won't run away on the back end.
The drawbacks:
You have little back end, and the break point is early. On short or thin oil you can get into trouble with rolling out. Length can become a problem.
I would not put such a layout on a strong mass bias ball. For a high tracker its puts the MB into the track area, and the result can be a funky reaction, even flaring backwards. On symmetrical core balls, this is no issue.
As juggernaut put it, the label setup is a utilarian solution. You cannot do much wrong, but it offers IMHO little benefits, esp. if you want to exploit a ball's characteristics or need a ball that handles a special condition. A whole arsenal is IMHO not a very smart approach, it would not be very versatile, or at least more limited than necessary.
