Public trackers like Pirate bay usually have a huge list of crap to choose from and you have to choose wisely.. usually based on how many seeders there are. Private ones usually keep it down to one version of each resolution, so you don't spend time searching through pages and pages of different torrents to find the one you want.
Public trackers are also monitored by the big companies so they can send random threats of lawsuits and demand compensation or court. Sure, the chance of this happening is low, but if you can reduce your chances further with a private tracker, why not?
TV Torrents was really good too in that you could set up lists so you could see whenever your favorite shows were out. They also often have RSS feeds so you can set up automatic downloads of said shows.
Of course, they often have ratios, but I don't usually mind leaving a torrent client to seed and build credits.
