The big selling point to Harvestores is that they're sealed, meaning less spoilage of the feed. They fill from the top and feed out the bottom, so you're always feeding the oldest feed first.
Stave silos unload from the top so you're always feeding the newest feed first, and air is allowed in meaning the top is always spoiling.
The disadvantage to Harvestores is that they're way more expensive to build and maintain. From what I remember the unloaders didn't work all that well, needed a lot of maintenance, and were prone to breaking if you didn't maintain them. If they broke, that could mean crawling in underneath hundreds of tons of silage. I think the unloader technology has improved over time, though.
