Well, recovery might be just a wee bit faster then re-loading few gigs of data using SQL. Also, developers on that DW might lose any work that they haven't done the night before. This is a production database, which means that it absolutely must be in archive log mode. One of the big reasons is that you'll have to answer the question "why isn't the production DW in the archive log mode" whenever you encounter an oracle consultant.
