I think the benefits might be specific to the situation. If you have cooked food or difficult things like dairy, meat scraps or very large branches, the city compost is better. Or orange peels, which some people says it hurts their worms. Or if you are concerned with pesticides in produce (my understanding is that pesticides may not break down in the temperatures achieved in a home-copost pile).
But the city compost has to travel by truck to a massive facility, where large (fossil-fueled) machinery will be moving the large piles of compost. Some of that industrial compost will then be placed in smaller plastic bags for distribution, which then happens by truck.
If the organic juice place down the street gave away their scraps, it might be more efficient to get it directly composted in my pile, and distribute it directly to my yard. (As a possible example). Walking across the street to get the coffee grounds from my neighbor would be great.
