Compact Crank (50/34) vs. Standard Crank

There are no pros and cons that can be universally applied. It’s just a preference based on your power, how fast your ride, your preferred cadence and how often you like to shift between the big and little ring. If you find that most of your riding has you skewed to one side or the other of the rear cassette then you should consider adjusting your front chainring such that you spend most of your time in the center of the cassette.
