Hosted catalogs can be an unforgiving format to work with. Static in nature, they become increasingly outdated over time and can be a burden to keep accurate. As a supplier your preference is most likely to offer your buyers a Punchout solution wherever possible.
In many cases however buyers prefer the high level of control the hosted format offers. It allows the highest degree of price compliance and strict control over the products presented to their internal buyers.
Importantly, it also allows their users to directly compare products from different suppliers on price and features.
Your key accounts may require a hosted catalog solution as a condition of preferred supplier status.
Some vendors will offer you an expensive platform with many shiny features which will never be used.
