Better? Vanilla or chocolate? Whatever works for you.
Depends on your developer. For something like colour that uses relatively low amounts of chemicals rotary is cheaper. For B&W it depends. I use D-23 1:3 and that fills a tray pretty quickly. OTOH if you use something else it might be cheaper for rotary.
I'm not sure what you mean here. You can process your neg one way. Print it a different way. For B&W I almost always use trays. For colour I always use drums.
You can get a used processor quite a bit cheaper. Why spend the money? It's easier to turn a machine on and walk away. Obviously one of the more expensive ATL would be even better for this. Some people don't like shuffling negatives in trays. If you process colour C-41 manually is more effort then the processor. I'm sure others can chime in with other reasons.
If you get one for colour then the added cost for B&W is zero.
