Contra Carry-on
  • fellow passengers who recognize the tag may think your a snob trying to show off with those tags that should go on your checked-in bags

Pro Check-in
  • On LH flights the bags get loaded close to the door and come out first

Contra Check-in
  • Tags disappear
  • Loading close to the door doesn't really seem to work all that often, and you'll get the priority tag as SEN anyway.

HTB.
Good summary. Since I try not to check bags when flying with LH I use on carry on or not at all.
