Pro's

They're easy AF.
One less thing to contribute to old tank syndrome.
You can get mad flow.

Con's

Obviously, asthetics.
Harder to get a good rock foundation (though I use cement or epoxy to stabilize)
You have to plan ahead and paint the bottom of the tank to avoid that ugly refraction through water and a perpendicular glass panel.

I will second what Albert says as he is my go-to person for anything and everything reef related.

I enjoy my 20 gallon BB tank. The maintenance benefits alone make it worth it as I don't have to go hunting in the sand for detritus.

For aesthetics, I keep alot of frags on the bottom so whether it's on sand or glass does not make a huge difference if I don't see it.

This is a local reefer's barebottom tank. The picture alone will be enough said:
