Short answer is, the wider the band, the more non-target (wavelength) photons get through. This means the image is brighter, and the subs can be shorter, but the effects of background skyglow (moon, urban LP etc.) are also more prominent. The narrower you go, the longer subs you'll need, but the less light pollution and other extraneous contamination you'll suffer. Trade-offs...
