Well, if you use an airlock, you won't need to remember to burp your jars, but on the other hand, airlocks are expensive!
Personally, I have never understood the need for airlocks. As long as you keep your veggies submerged, there is little danger of anything going wrong, and you need to keep your veggies covered with or without an airlock.
When I stared fermenting veggies, I decided to emulate Sandor Katz, who does not advocate the use of airlocks, and using plain mason jar lids has always worked fine for me.
