An advantage of a fixed charge is that a payment will be the same from one month or week to the next. This helps businesses plan for the future based on actual cash outflow.
When costs are fixed, you know what they are from month to month and can budget accordingly.

The only time professional charges would be a fixed cost expense is when you pay exactly the same charge every reporting period (monthly, quarterly, or yearly). If the professional charge changes depending of the amount of work done or time spent, then it is not fixed. Sometimes lawyers or accountants will work for a fixed fee that doesn't change over a period of time. Then it is a fixed cost expense.
Depreciation is the wear and tear charge allocated to specific fiscal year thorugh income statement for related fixed tangible assets while amortization is same as depreciation just it is done for intangible fixed assets.
This is a very open ended question that implies one does not understand the purpose of the ratio and I see no advantage to any ratio over another. A ratio simply measures the variables inputted. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio ("FCCR") reflects the amount of cash (or EBITDA) left after paying for unfinanced capital expenditures, dividends (or distributions) and cash paid taxes then divided by the "fix charges" or the sum of the past period's cash interest and required payments on long term debt or also know as the current portion long term debt ("CPLTD"). In my opinion to answer the question; the advantage of this ratio over the use of an Uniform Cash Flow Analysis ("UCA") Debt Service Coverage ("DSC") is simply the starting point of EBITDA vs. net income. EBITDA is more commonly used in larger credit facilities as a component of ratios or covenants measurement. Also a very similar ratio is Free Cash Flow ("FCF") divided by Total Debt Service ("TDS") or FCF/TDS.
