- That was a informative read. So aside from navigation differences team sites can be groupified while communication sites cannot. With this in mind I cannot come up with a scenario where I would prefer a communication site over a team site.
If your audience is broadly focused - an intranet scenario - I recommend a Communication Site over a team site every time.

You can only get the "full width" experience in a Comm Site so when a client says to me "make it not look like SharePoint," I know they will love Communication Sites!
