Pipe Hangers vs. Trapezes

I've often wondered about the use of pipe hangers as compared to (relatively) rigid welded downcoming structural supports that allow lines to sit on steel. With a pipe hanger, I would expect that more lateral and longitudinal shifting would be permitted and thus the piping movement would be less controllable.

Any thoughts from the field?
