The advantage is that everybody else in the world uses it. Also, most people know it.
Most of the world uses the metric system for measurement. The main units used outside of the U.S.A. is the metric system or SI (System Internationale).
The world system of measurements units is based on the metric system (SI).
I think you are referring to SI, the international standard of measurement units agreed upon by the international scientific community. SI does not stand for the metric system per se, but it is not surprising that all of the SI units are metric since the world's preference for the metric system is almost universal. Currently there are only three countries in which the metric system is not the standard system of measurements.
The metric system has not been 'renamed' SI. SI is simply the latest standardised version of the metric system.Previous standardised versions include the cgsA(centimetre, gram, second, Ampere) system, and the mksA(metre, kilogram, second, Ampere) system. Metric units (such as calories, litres, ergs, etc.) used in these systems are not used in SI.
The SI system - International System, after its name in French.
There is basically ONE metric system currently used worldwide. It is called the SI. All countries that use "the metric system" are really using the SI. Other metric systems were used in the past, but they are not commonly used in any country.

The metric system is the preferred system of scientific units for several reasons.The metric-based Système International or SI units are used to standardize the report or calculation of scientific quantities.

If, by 'metric system', you mean 'SI system', then the base unit for mass is the kilogram
The SI unit of length is the meter or metre.
