The difference between the two construction methods is that with Bread and Butter you buy a lot of expensive knot free wood and end up throwing 85% or more of it away in firewood, shavings and sawdust. With Plank on Frame nearly all the sheet and stripwood you buy (and you can cut strips yourself with a bandsaw) will actually go into the model.
However, that's not the whole story as Ray says, as some hulls are difficult to reproduce in plank on frame, particularly at the bow and stern.
The 'smart' solution is to combine different methods in the same hull in what I call 'composite construction'. So, for example, you can bread and butter the hull up to the turn of the bilge, use sheet for parallel amidship sections with plank on frame fore and aft of these supplemented by carved blocks or short sections of bread and butter to shape the tricky bits bow and stern.
My Miltiades liner hull uses all of these methods. Horses for courses depending on the type of hull.
