the pros are you don't have to incubate the egg sack by yourself.
the cons are when the spiders hatch, you'll have to catch A LOT of tiny tiny spiders.
that's all I can think of.

Pros:More natural, No need for artificial incubation
Cons: Chance of eggsac consumption, Hard to tell if sac goes bad.

As far as I'm concerned a sack should be left with the mother unless she is not taking care of it.
Particularly for slings that are known to be delicate, such as most Avicularia. I think the babies are stronger for it, we have done that with our last two sacks and didn't any deaths
