IMO, Hidden frames are used when AJAX was not popular. I don't think you have disadvantage of using them. But we have many new AJAX methodologies, why you need to use Hidden frames?

Read somewhere,

Advantages:

a. Hidden frames allow you to cache more than one data field.
b. The ability to cache and access data items stored in different hidden forms.

Disadvantages:

a. Not supported by all browsers
b. Stored data is not secured as it is stored on client's machine in the form of hidden fields
