What benefits does one have over the other? Is one less damaging, while the other gains more height?

They both do about the same damage.

Sniper-jumping is really only useful from a standstill, gets lots of height,  and doesn't get much horizontal movement.

Mortar-jumping can be used during a strafe-jump. It doesn't get as much height, but you can move a lot further horizontally.

Unrealistic? Yes.

But so is healing yourself by grabbing a floating ball with a colored cross in it.

And, for that matter, so is surviving a rocket in the face, simply because you were weaing some kevlar....

Remember too that sniper-jumping is erratic since the reflection has a somewhat random trajectory.  It's ok for getting to, say, the megahealth on Eternal Arenas, but if you are looking for control you're better off with the mortar.
