Direct Downloads are more reliable. It's not an opinion, it's a fact. Torrents are only faster if they have a lot of seeder and peers on a good tracker. Otherwise it's really slow.
Direct Downloads almost always give you your maximum download speed. Even though some torrents, like Naruto on a release day, can go nearly twice your direct speed, most torrents don't have enough seeders to do this.

That's not exactly true. My absolute max direct download speed on an uncapped server is around 525 KB/s. I can download the latest Naruto at around 850 kB/s via torrent. But there aren't that many torrens that have as much seeders/leechers as Naruto has, so they aren't all that fast.
