Hi Michael
The HSL is one of the best color models. The colors are symmetricalordered. 
Advantages1. symmetrical2. color values are not rounded (you have more colors than in the HEXmodel)3. logical (no senselessly black axis)4. equidistant colors in the color picker5. the right color theory. In the middle is the neutral gray [1]
Bad's in the HSV color picker1. not symmetrical2. color values are rounded (in HEX a base color can have only a valueof 0 - 255)3. not logical (a senselessly black axis)4. not equidistant colors in the color picker, you can click too manycolors in the black area.5. the color circle is correct but in the middle is not the neutralgray.
