Leading link uses dampers - Can have a steeper fork angle that is an advantage if running a side car. (Turn quicker with less effort).

I always liked the "dive" of the teleospic telescopic forks. Tap the front brake, steeper fork angle, and turn quicker. Works great for a U-turn in tight quarters.
