What advantage does using an NSArray/NSMutableArray have over using

I think a better question is why you would want to use a C-style
array if you have don't have to.
NSArray is safer, easier to use, is natively supported throughout
Cocoa, and is bridged to the prodecural CFArrayRef structure. The
implementation is also available through Apple's open source
repositiory.
If you absolutely need to use every ounce of raw speed, you should
use a C-style array. Otherwise, make things easy on yourself and use
NSArray. You also might find this interesting:
