I don't know if a tubular would be more or less resistant to a p_nctr than a tubeless tyre, I was thinking that the sealant would essentially equal that up.
They're both much more resistant to pinch flats than a clincher+tube.
In terms of nursing round corners and fiddle- installing a tub with tape is less bother than fitting a clincher can be.
Cost- that's going to be a factor as tubs are generally more than boggo tyres, although how much would you spend on the sealant, special valves, sealing rim tape and so on?
I may be doing P-R again next year, so this is more than an academic question for me- four p_nct_r_s last time, two from repair failure and two pinch flats.
