Both have their place, but I think the click hinges are definitely better
for younger kids for two reasons:

permitted angles than a regular hinge and this is important for any
weight-bearing structure (look at the crab in one of the designer creatures
sets)
For proof of the amazing strength of click hinges, see my ancient post about
my experiements in this regard:
