Straight shaft has another set of gears where the shaft connects to the cutting head,which is one more thing to wear out. The straight shaft works better for cutting under low fences and other obstructions,as you are not bumping into those things with a curved shaft.
The curved shaft has only the flexible drive shaft between the engine and cutting head,so is simple and reliable.
Kind of like the old GM division head when the young engineer was pestering him to add some device to the cars.He said"young man,parts not installed cost nothing and give no trouble" :)
