With uniform allocation you cannot get free space fragmentation
problems, with system managed you can (but are unlikely to).

With uniform allocation if you guess^H^H^H^H calculate the segment
size wrongly you can end up with very large or very small numbers of
extents.

I prefer and have long advocated uniform extent sizing, others have
advocated a system policy.
