I wouldn't say there were any "advantages" to going over the top during the First World War. If you were lucky, you survived the attack on enemy trenches. If unlucky, you were killed. If somewhat lucky, you received an injury referred to by soldiers as a "blighty" - not enough to kill or maim you, but enough to get you out of the front lines for a while as you recovered and the wound healed, or to send you home.
