I strongly prefer the systray icon over the applet: It opens a nice, 
reasonably sized slider for adjusting the volume. With the applet everything 
is tiny, and you have to hit the desired pixels exactly. That can be tedious 
if you're not good in handling your mouse or use your laptop's touchpad.

The "themeable and looking better" argument for the systray icon has already 
been brought up, I second that too. And the applet still doesn't offer the 
capability to open KMix for a big mixer window with labeled channels.

But yes, hiding most channels would certainly be a good idea.

So long,
