It's somewhat easier (pressing a button on a USB device vs manually typing in a short code) and more secure (malware cannot steal the key from the USB dongle, and it's physically secure against tampering).

I use PingID for authentication and the manual code entry is only required as a fallback. When everything goes right, you just need to swipe to approve at the lock screen. Also, I'm doubtful there's any cause for concern about malware or physical tampering on iOS.
I do like the idea of being able to plug in to authenticate for ssh on any computer, however...
