Struts are simpler and lighter and are able of bigger lifting. Wishbones are a bit better in wheel guiding when up or down lifting and when braking hard on bumps I think.

thats why subarus are often faster on gravel and Mitsu at asphalt
double wishbones can ''control'' way better the wheel than struts
it is difficult to change the camber or toe in-out as the suspension works up and down with double wishbones
on the other side the suspension travel of struts is unbeatable specially on gravel where you need big travel from suspension.
wrc subaru 08 definetely is going to be with struts imo
I think we saw this one coming, didn't we?
