I used to do the same, having to manually partition because the default
setup was LVM. However I prefer BTRFS because a) I don't have to guess
what size of partitions to create at install time, something which is
difficult to change later, and b) BTRFS includes features such as
snapshots and built-in RAID without having to deal with an additional
layer as with LVM.

Again, it's a matter of preference.
