This is purely speaking skyrimwise... They also die from being in sunlight unless they feed. but if they feed, then they lose their powerful magics. Being a werewolf literally has no tradeoffs or weaknesses other than silver weapons. and considering only the silver hand use silver weapons and you pretty much eliminate them at the end of the questline. So... werewolf all the way.
