Circuit Breaker vs Fuse.  

Most of my aircraft electrical system wiring is protected by fuses.  Why?
 Because there are circuits in the plane that if they have enough current
flow to blow a fuse, do I really want to re-energize them in the air?  My
answer is NO.

I have a few circuit breakers in critical circuits that I may want to
re-energize once or possibly twice.  Never more times than that.

I have LEDs that indicate whether or not a fuse has blown and alot more
instrument panel space.
