When screw compressors were being sold some time ago, the salesman all said variable Vi was better than fixed Vi.
Recip compressors were less efficient than screws. All sorts of sales tactics were being used.
I think the simple fact is; both compressor types have some benefits that can be utilized... if done properly.
Screws can operate at high pressure ratios more efficiently. They require smaller areas for the equivalent capacity (on big systems).
But, I have never heard a salesman tell the owner the screw compressor is a lot more inefficient than a recip compressor at part load when trying to sell a screw.
And... I have never heard a screw salesman say recip's already have variable Vi. They don't even need control systems for variable Vi.
Although I would like to see someone add a manifold to a recip for economizers.
I'm in agreement with Andy. A lot of arguments are used to sell one compressor over another type. I think the arguments are based on what the salesman is trying to sell. Sometimes these are vary one-sided.

Number 2 does cost more up for the initial install and continuing operation. These are usually systems where the people recognize the loss of cooling costs more in lost production time, than the cost of the maintenance.
Of course there are all sorts of arguments that can be made for this too. In general, I think Josip summed it up very nicely.

Please, don't teach me how to be stupid....
No job is as important as to jeopardize the safety of you or those that you work with.
