Fixed rings give you compact and lightweight
Rail gives more flexibility if you have quality attachments and optics you can swap scopes without having to re zero
I have a mate that does just that he has two scopes which are zeroed on his rifle and he just chops and charges depending on location
Sometimes he even carries the other scope in his pack to change mid hunt say if he goes from bush to tops
They also give alot more flexibility on mounting location to suit your eyes and body shooting position etc
I think in my personal opinion rails are slightly more durable I never really liked the idea of dovetails on Centerfires even with the locking lugs like on factory tikka/sako set ups
If i was going to go for fixed rings id go for a screw on type like tellys for example
