   Repairability, future additions, etc. If a wire becomes damaged and   
   needs to be repaired, you need to add another circuit, etc. it is a   
   piece of cake with conduit, but with direct burial it's an entire new   
   project. Small PVC conduit is like $0.15/ft, it's too cheap to justify   
   not using.
