Default breeder vs burn-up reactors

hey I was reading up here on totse and someone said that breeder reactors, although they seem to be more efficient are actually a worse choice. something about low power ouptut per fuel input, even though breeder reactors made their own fuel.

I've heard they are more dangerous for other reasons...harder to shut down in case of an emergency?

I haven't really researched it fully though.
