A positive is the higher settings move more air around. So there is better circulation of the heat. But go up slowly. If you move the air accross the heat exchanger too fast it doesn't extract as much heat(less efficient).
Higher setting cons are more noise in the room. Specially when its next to the telly!
I am sure there is more to add here too!

I run med heat high blower, it heats the whole house, very much like a hot air furnace.
I am still amazed how evenly it heats the house. Convection blower on to off is usually 40-45 minutes.
Quiet fan and stove is out of the way.

I try to maximize the time the air is in the exchanger. So, generally run on low when the pellet feed rate is low. If I turn the blower speed up (rarely), I increase the feed rate some to make the exchanger hotter.
