It's about density in the module package. A higher voltage module is just combining more solar cells for a higher power output. There's really nothing intrinsically better or worse between 24V nominal and 12 V nominal. The 24V modules are best served by an MPPT controller, though, and the additional expense of MPPT isn't necessary for 12 V nominal modules. For us RV'ers, it's more about what fits on your roof or is more easily handled. I sure wouldn't like to be moving around 24 V modules but I know some do.
Presently, I have one 24V module on the roof. It does a good job with the 300AH of battery I have. In the future I may add another module and more battery capacity. It will be easier to install one 24 V module than two 12 V modules and the associated wiring.
