One of the advantages is you can install a newer release, which gives you newer package versions. This can be important if you require fixes or new functionality found only in a more recent release.
Second, there is educational value in the process of rolling your own distribution.
Third, when you roll your own distribution you know what's in it.
Fourth, you get to make all the design decisions.
But if you are new to Linux, or new to Debian, the default Debian desktop is a fantastic place to start, and learn. Mrfixit and Luke have done a great job putting it together.
