I'm trying to work out the benefits of Content Type Hub(s) vs. deploying Content Types via custom features, and struggling to find much online to help me compare them.
The way we are designing the system, we will have 8 content types (that number is unlikely to change, the metadata for each content type is also unlikely to change), and will be replicating them to multiple site collections as part of an extended records management system (one new site collection per year, to keep the content databases a manageable size).
Since we are creating the content types initially with a Feature in a Visual Studio solution, it would seem to make sense to me to just activate that feature in each site collection. However I have been asked to also explore the possibility of using a Content Type Hub for it, and while I can find a lot of information about Content Type Hubs, I cannot find anything that directly compares the two approaches.
