One benefit of using storage level replication is that it doesn't require much DBA work to do it.
But if your primary database crashes because of a block corruption in a data dictionary table, then your DR site will have exactly the same problem in it, doesn't matter how far away it is. With applying archive/redologs to DR database you will less likely have this issue (e.g. corruptions of primary database blocks due software failures or disk controller glitches won't be tranferred over to DR).
