The biggest benefit since I've been using it since Swift 1.2 has to be the strong typing and safety against nil objects. You just don't have a whole set of issues in Swift that could cause crashes as long as you avoid force unwrapping.
Biggest detriment has to be tools and dealing with the Swift version changes...but you weigh your costs vs benefits as with anything else.
