Pros
Pro The best features of Arch without the hassle
ArchBang is minimal but completely functional out of the box. It's still up to you to set up to your liking. You still get Arch's unmatched documentation, insanely vast number of packages (in AUR) and extreme customizability. And a small but friendly and approachable community.
Pro Rolling release
Being based on Arch, Archbang follows a rolling release schedule, ensuring that the software will always be on the bleeding edge.
Pro Lightweight
Archbang is a pretty lightweight distro. It uses Openbox as a Window Manager by default, without having the need to use a desktop environment which would only bloat the OS further.
Pro Large repository
As of Feb. 26th, 2020 there are 2460 tools in the repository.
Pro Live session
You can run the OS from a LiveUSB.
Pro Better than ArchStrike

Pro Arch-based
BlackArch is just normal Arch with tons of tools preinstalled
Pro Suitable for professionals
Cons
Con Not beginner-friendly
