Mr Dube,

I would guess that practitioners of the squat jerk have issues with hand speed, and/or maybe foot (splitting) speed.

In those cases, even with a good drive, the squat style might seem to increase the odds.

Personally, I think the trade-off gives up too much in terms of the precision/accuracy required at the bottom lockout, and the difficulty of keeping the bar in position and recovering. On the other hand, if a lifter has freaky shoulder strength and flexibility, the squat jerk might be just the thing.
