Routes vs htaccess - is there any advantage

.htaccess will always be faster no matter what. But it's a nightmare to maintain. You probably have a lot of rules there that are redundant or could be done more efficiently.

Personally I only use mod_rewrite to take away the index.php, blocking of access to certain folders/files or for special routes (think access to REST/SOAP interfaces on the same domain).
