I'm the wrong person to ask. My inherent understanding of things started at tubes, is progressing through transistors, and sort of tickles the feet of operational amplifiers. I am a cave dweller here.
I understand they are delay chips and that many people have strong opinions of the differences. I also understand that the root function of the delay IC is achieved in various ways, each with their certain flavour of loss and restrictions on input/output capabilities. My hunch, and we're several layers outside the realm of concrete here, is that many, if not most (if not essentially all) effect manufacturers deploying such sophisticated subsystems in their designs pretty much colored inside the lines. Which is to say, application notes are taken very seriously by those who do not wish to court a surplus a field failures.
All that aside, I personally have not enough run time with specifically different topologies of delay to have an informed opinion.
