I guess if you really need to boil it down, it would be: If the player can only reliably edit the save through gameplay, or a save editor that maintains consistency, then there's really not much difference for your choice of representation.
People with the skills to make a save editor are not hindered by binary formats, and once an editor exists, people without those skills can also use it.
If there are no other technical constraints, then it's just a matter of taste.
