either less ripple or ability to use smaller filter
in full wave bridge rectifier, the input and out put voltages are same but in case of two diode rectifier the input and output voltages can be different as per requirement a there is a transformer in the circuit. The former is lighter and the later is heavier.
The main disadvantage of a bridge rectifier is that it needs four diodes, two of which conduct in alternate half-cycles. Because of this the total voltage drop in diodes becomes double of that in case of centre-tap rectifier, losses are increased and rectification efficiency is somewhat reduced. This poses a problem when low voltages are required. Another disadvantage of bridge rectifier is that the load resistor R Land the supply source have no common point which may be earthed.
there is no need of bulky centre tap in a bridge rectifier. TUF(transformer utilisation factor) is considerably high. output is not grounded. diodes of a bridge rectifier are readily available in market. *the PIV(peak inverse voltage) for diodes in a bridge rectifier are only halfof that for a centre tapped full wave rectifier,which is of great advantage.
Either less ripple voltage with the same filter capacitance, or similar ripple voltage with smaller filter capacitances (and thus physically smaller filter capacitors).
Half wave rectifier makes the the sinusoidal wave uni-direction only in one half cycle and leave the other but in full wave rectifier both the cycles are made uni-directional.
to get maximum dc output
Output voltage is higher!!!

Efficiency is double in case of full wave rectifier.
the ease of filtering their outpot voltages
The advantage of a full wave rectifier is that it produces less ripple and the ripple has a higher frequency, making it easier to filter.The advantage of a half wave rectifier is it is simpler and less expensive as it needs fewer components.Which is best in a given application however requires making other tradeoffs that are out of scope for this question as they cannot be determined without knowing the details of the specific application. So neither is universally the best.
The advantage is that the wage bill is reduced, the disadvantage of the retrenchment growth strategy is that a firm may loses employee without reaching their full potential.

It depends on whether or not it is a half wave or full wave rectifier. For a single phase 60 Hz rectifier, a half wave rectifier will be 60 Hz while a full wave rectifier will be 120 Hz. A three phase full wave rectifier will be 360 Hz.
