Good question. Thanks for asking!

CDBS is more backports-friendly (beyond backports.org too!).

CDBS provides routines to fetch and repackage upstream tarballs

CDBS provides routines to track copyright and licensing info of sources.

CDBS is less invasive - e.g. can be used with manually run dh_* commands

CDBS is written in make (short-form dh somewhat reinvents make in Perl)
