The advantage is a compromise. It won't receive or transmit vertically or horizontally as strong as a vertical antenna or a horizontal beam will. But that can change if it is more than a simple V-quad. A multiple element V-quad will increase the gain to overcome that 3db phase loss mentioned by CK.

Dunno the difference between a V and a Y quad.
Is there? One would think they behave the same.
