Everybody has the same schedule and it gives you 30, 34, 38, etc. games to work it out. In leagues where the schedules are uneven (MLS comes to mind) - head-to-head because strength of schedule may benefit one of the clubs, so goal differential may be disadvantageous (I'm going to use that word over and over today) to one of the clubs.

If your level with a team in the table, you see which team was better against each other to see who should have the advantage. I like head to head.
