I believe digital copies will have slightly faster load times if they're on the internal storage. Other than that there is little sifference other than convenience. Even the cartridge will require you to download update data and DLC in the future.

Logistically speaking there isn't really any reason not to get a digital copy if you don't plan on sharing your Smash Ultimate copy.
Either way you still get your updates and there's a tiny faster load-time digitally, but it's imperceptible.

If you get a physical copy you have to use the My Nintendo Rewards program to get Piranha Plant, while the digital version will automatically get him; that's pretty much it.

Not only those points, but Physical will save you storage space, especially if you have anything less than a 64gb Micro SD.
