Pros
Pro Survival is based on backstabbing
In order to live, you'll have to vote others to death. Great moments like the priest voting to kill the little girl.
Pro Works well with bigger groups
The more people, the more voters to convince to let you live and the more likely someone will have to die.
Pro Separate roles allow experienced players and inexperienced players to still have a good time together
Most players take on the role of the survivors, but one or two take on the role of the zombies. If playing with people who are new to the game, the experienced players can take the more difficult role of controlling the zombies, leaving the other players to sort themselves out, without becoming puppets for the experienced players to command.
Cons
Con Elimination gameplay
It can happen that someone is eliminated from the game, though in my experience it's not often that you have all of your characters voted off.
