Two major advantages of LE over StartSSL:
1. certificates can be renewed before the old one expires
2. free certificate revocation
I value being able to renew the certificate early (no downtime) and I don't think StartSSL can do this.
In case the worst happens and I have to revoke, then at least it's not going to cost me money to do so, though I think it's only ~$10 for StartSSL.

But no better than the ones you've been able to get free from StartSSL.com for years. It just comes down to whether you'd prefer to use LE's software to handle updates (at most) every 90 days, or if you'd prefer to do it yourself once a year.
Personally, I prefer the latter - but each to their own.
