Some of the main benefits with a dry sump is constant oil supply, more power can be generated (by creating extra crankcase vacuum) and since there is no "oil pan", the engine can be lowered thus improving handling and a lower center of gravity. Oil capacity is no longer an issue, oil is no longer splashing against the crankshaft (which can lead to hp loss). While cornering, accelerating, braking and so on there is always the same amount of oil supplied (so no more oil starvation).
A wet system is what most cars come with and the cons to it are the opposite of what I mentioned above.
The bad about a dry system is how complex it could be and the extra weight due to additional pumps
