PRS Counter certainly the best, never fails, no system errors.
IRCTC is very unpredictable; You will do everything and payment will fail. So better visit PRS

4.You can book easily in between your Office work
5.If your ticket is lost, you can take another printout or show the SMS to TTE
6.Even if you dont have the printout/sms you wont be detrained if you have valid ID proof(which is compulsory for both in higher class)
7. If

your PNR is in WL and didnt CNF, you dont have to stand in the queue again to get the refund. But if you want travel ,you have to get an open ticket from the counter which is comparatively easy than the reservation counter.
And so on.
Others can add more salient features

That is the worse part of PRS tickets. He can travel with WL ticket in general compartment(by paying reservation charges). It is better to cancel it and travel with an open ticket which is 1/3 cheaper. To cancel the same he has to stand in the queue again.
But in IRCTC, it will cancel automatically and will be refunded

one should not travel with his WL ticket in sleeper OR any reserved coach. Its against the rule. If all wl passenger travel in sleeper, there where the CNF passengers will sit/sleep?

Re# 467417-16                  
As per my knowledge, If any WL passenger found travelling in reserved coaches, he will be detrained from the coach,If the TTE is strict on his duty.
Ofcourse there are exceptions,but i am talking as per rules.
