The advantage to using the custom subtitle field for me is, as mentioned, Kobo's ereaders will display subtitle in the library view. Subtitle is a standard option in the KoboTouch and KoboTouchExtended driver metadata configuration so all the heavy lifting in getting the information to the device in the right location has been done for me.

Since I have 6 books with editions and about 120 with subtitles, it made sense to use the same custom column for both.
