I don't think that there are any advantages to a closed knuckle over an open. It was what I had with my 69 so I wanted to make it work. I would go with the open knuckle if I do it again. I've found that the knuckle bearings and wiper kits are not cheap so the open knuckle would be a lot sheaper to maintain, and I hear the turning radius is better too.
