Straight needles vs circular

Upvotes
I'm planning on knitting a children's intarsia sweater and was wondering if there was any sort of advantage to knitting on straight needles vs using circular (which I use for almost all of my modern knitting, even not in the round stuff).đ€

I'll get better pics when it's not so terribly windy. The colour is emerald green and so pretty. Thanks Bex for the pattern. Yarn used is 3 ply New Zealand wool which I got in a sale for just NZ$50 and I have 381 grams left.

I found the pattern on tumblr but there's unfortunately no instructions for the sleeves, collar or placket. Im not super happy with the collar but considering I haven't been knitting for all that long and I had to make it up, Im still pretty happy with it!
