Default 1/2" vs 1" GE breakers

I have a GE service panel in my home that accepts both 1/2" and 1"
breakers. As I add circuits to this box, is there any advantage to
using 1" breakers over 1/2"? I'd rather use 1/2" since that will
allow me to add twice as many circuits. Obviously, there's the
potential to overload the box, but, for the sake of discussion, let's
assume that I'm smart enough not to do that.
