So I'm sitting here trying to decide where would be the best place to buy my music from and a big question popped up.
Why would anyone pick beatport over iTunes?
Are there advantages to this when it comes to djing/producing?

Better quality. iTunes sells tracks at 256 kbps, I believe. Beatport has tracks at 320 kbps. Beatport is worth it if you're serious about DJing.
Itunes encodes with aac which, from my understanding, is at least as good as a standard 320. People generally pick beatport because of selection of underground tunes and the interface layout with searching by sub genres. Not sure If you can search that way in itunes, but If you can find a track for cheaper, go for it.

Nope. Same tracks, different quality.
What kind of stuff you're after? if you're after underground/electronic stuff definitely check Bleep/Boomkat/Digital-Tunes/Surus/Juno, much better alternatives to BP and iTunes
The biggest thing that keeps me coming back to beatport is the interface. It's just so much easier to find what I'm looking for, both because of their search filters and because of the mybeatport section. While you certainly shouldn't limit yourself to just beatport if you want a good selection of tunes, there are plenty of advantages that make it my first stop every monday.
