I would go with what you said - flexibility - and say manufacturing in general. Considering that everything is made out of the same material (atoms) and that these nanobots are supposedly small enough that atoms will literally be their working raw material, they can be programmed to create anything from a brass tack to a hot dog bun. Kinda makes you think of the "replicators" from Star Trek: The Next Generation, doesn't it?
Just to cover my ass I would also say the medical field would benefit greatly from nanotechnology. They could work as "programmable enzymes" that could alter gene transcription and expression and do other stuff that I can't think of right now

Thanks bro.. That's a point I didn't consider..... I was thinking flexibility, but I like your theory. One more question if you don't mind.... What field or profession stands to gain the most from it in your opinion? And please use your imagination.... Myself, I think from a military profession, we stand to gain miniature spies, and miniature assassins. A high flying jet could drop an invisible load of bots trained for war over an enemy hot spot. : Gather intel, seek out known enemies, and enter the blood stream, devour the heart or mind.... Terrorist watch out!! Death may come in your sleep....
Anyway, what's your take?

Well one thing I could think of was biological computers. Cells could be engineered to process information encoded in the form of proteins. I had a brief inspiration to write a short story using that concept, but my creative writing teacher swiftly and mercilessly crushed it. But working biocomputers have been documented. I think some researchers created a DNA adding machine based on PCR (polymerase chain reaction).
I didn't answer your question - what is the biggest advantage...hmmm... I think speed is one. Considering that one of the supposed features of nanobots is that they are self-replicating, the number of nanobots assigned to a task should rise geometrically, and with that the speed at which the said task is performed should rise at the same rate. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

GED, Freak'n awesome man!! Isn't technology just kick ass cool??!!
Shingo, good point..... It will need to be safe guarded from the population like nukes...

The entertainment value bro..... I mean really, how boring would that be to not see a fight every once in a while? It's in our roots to want violence as entertainment... Our European ancestors gave us the taste for blood.. Two words: Roma coliseums.....
Anyone else want to take a stab at it?? Haha Pun intended...
