That's really all you need to know, isn't it..? Being heavier/thicker, cardstock is more expensive than regular paper, that's the only drawback I can think of. Some people say: "I can't fold the small pieces when I use thicker cardstock!" but that's due to the lack of papercrafting skills. Every fold can be made just as crisp as you want it, you just have to take your time to make the fold. Scoring the cardstock helps too (you should ALWAYS score, even if you're just using regular paper: scoring will "guide" the fold so the fold will follow the fold line exactly, and that is an absolute must in papercrafting).
My advice: stick to what works best for you. If you're happy with your papercrafts made with regular paper, why change? If you don't score the folds but your papercrafts turn out just fine, why start scoring? If your papercrafts made with regular paper fall apart, try cardstock and see if it works better. Why ask somebody else what you like best?
