Adantage of over head is potential for misting when temps get over 95 and also to wash off some of the foliar applied amendments that accumulate during a long dry spell.

The advantages of drip far outway overhead..Drip you apply less water/ Less evaporation. Drip you have less standing water on the leaves to spread powdery mildew. Drip is a more consistent watering method/sort of like a slow rain.
