I think Brian's point is that it's simpler to make a vertical bearing which is perpendicular to the axis of the arm through the pivot (as required for an "S" arm) rather than one which has an offset angle (as required for a straight arm). For a given level of machining tolerance the simpler job will turn out better but the difference is, as he noted, subtle.For a given tube size a straight arm will always be stiffer. From there on you are on your own, my opinions on stiffness and tonearm resonance differ wildly from the accepted wisdom so we won't open that particular can of worms.
