If we are talking about a perfectly linear spring then there is no advantage to running any sort of preload. However springs are not perfectly linear and they tend to deviate away from hooks (ideal) law. I dont know enough about suspension to know how this affects a car on the road. But knowing that no spring is ideal I can see it having some effect on the performance of a suspension setup.
