Any benefit of using AU over VST3 on a Mac?

I always install both VST3 and AU versions of a (NI) plugin. So both show up in Maschine or my DAW's. But knowing that AU is an Apple developed format, does anyone know if there's actually any technical benefit of using AU instead of VST on a Apple for the NI plugins (or any plugins for that matter)?

There's not a significant difference in performance. The advantage of using VST3 is that you can transfer projects to a Windows PC in the future if you need to.

What a great question and answer. Thank you both.

IMHO, VST should bee used over AU if ever possible so you at least have freedom to move between mac/pc.
Applications like Komplete Kontrol also do not load AU plugins
