Now that we can jailbrake, any benifits of Pdanet over tether hack on At&t

I would rather use pdanet for the same reason. I think it'll be easier for AT&T to stop people from using the built in tether.
Well, here's a major difference between PDANet and built-in Tethering..
Built in Apple's tethering only allows for a 500k connection on Windows atleast.. whereas PDANet shows up something much faster (last time I tried) therefore giving you real-time 3G speeds versus a limited .5meg connection.

The people who make such statements are the ones who are using the 1.33 version. In my opinion PDAnet is superior as it gives 2.4 mbps of modem speed where as the Internal built in tethering option gives 500k.
1.33 had heating issues and there is a public crack for it. The new version of 1.53 of PDAnet solves all those issues but comes with a $30 price tag which most of the above users are mad about resulting in biased reviews.
You guys are all forgetting that pdanet masks your tethering so at&t sees the data usage as if your browsing on your phone instead of on a computer
Look. I plug my iPhone into my computer, and the internet just freaking works. How much better could this be? I've used the newest version of PdaNet. It sucks, let me tell you.
Something else to add...
PDANet requires their desktop client to work if using the USB method.
Built-in Apple tethering requires iTunes to work.
Both kind of a pain, but chances are you're going to be tethering on a machine that you've already installed iTunes onto.

The reason it works is because you have the heavy client of iTunes installed. For PDAnet you have to have a small app PDAnet desktop installed which uses the itunes Framework.
PDAnet would like to keep the framework separate from itunes as itunes can easily block out PDAnet's usage in its upcoming upgrades.
The heavy client of iTunes installed? I have it anyway, it's what I use to listen to music and feed my iPhone with apps and music and videos. Not a big deal.
