I will say that, those of us with more biology can have somepretty specialist needs and requirements. That's based more on operating experience than anything technical. I'd also say that having a higher biological fraction has saved a life as often as it's endangered it.
Still, you get all the advantages of both, but the disadvantages of both too and I really don't want to get into too much detail in a public channel. The end result is someone with more complex needs than either a full cyber, or full biologic. The real pain is that, while in an emergency you can patch a full borg up pretty quick if you have any mechatronic knowledge. But if there's any significant biology affected, that needs some real specialised care. Need less maintenance overall, because it'll self-heal and self repair but it's harder to find someone capable of doing it because it needs surgical techniques.
It's a good excuse not to get shot up. I just can't take a risk tanking damage as easily the others, even with chunky bit of help from homeostasis. At the same time I'd argue that if you're ever resorting to tanking you're doing something wrong and need to stop doing it right now anyway but that's a matter of tactics.
