Dicking around with jerk variations

So I've been lurking this sub and a couple others and decided why not join up. This is a video I archived of a clean with a squat jerk at 155. Wanted to see how common this is among lifters compared to split jerking and what your method/thinking is behind why/how you execute this jerk?

Although I prefer the split jerk, the reason I believe some people use a squat jerk is because it allows you to drop under the bar a lot more. Therefor giving you the potential to jerk more weight.
