The advantages are that you can achieve warp faster because of the shorter cycle time of the afterburner (as low as 7.5 seconds with Afterburners V). But this is a double-edged sword -- usually you don't want to train to Afterburners V because the shorter cycle time gives less time to achieve necessary speed. Usually Afterbuners IV is enough. Another advantage is that you can activate an afterburner before the cloak, because there is no signature radius bloom like with a MWD.

Do these things in this order after jumping through a stargate or wormhole. Although you can do MWD then cloak (or do both at once), it is not recommended as having your MWD active before your cloak is a bad idea due to the signature radius bloom and the likelihood of spending more time uncloaked.
