On a home system, I say it all comes down to personal preference for which style connections to use.
I NEVER worry about the whole sanitary argument. Everything in my system is either pre-boil (HLT/MLT) or if it is attached to the boil kettle (chiller), then boiling wort gets recirculated through it prior to chilling. The only place I would worry about threads and connectors is inside my fermenter - and there I use a sanke with the Brewers Hardware fermenter top.
I think the whole sanitary argument is over blown.
