auto light rack: linear actuator vs tubular motor

I am in the planning stages of a build and would like to incorporate a powered light rack inside my canopy. Had been planning on using a linear actuator with pulleys, and came across some examples of people using a tubular motor (the type used to raise and lower blinds).
The tubular motor installations looked simpler (less parts), and sleeker. They also seem to be quieter, and be able to raise and lower the light rack quicker.
I am looking for the pros and cons for either of these methods.
All experiences and insights are welcome.
