In addition to Benny's and Fred's replies, the AC motor is totally enclosed and will resist to dust and humidity much better. Added to that is the fact that AC motors are unusally controled by high efficiency Transistor controlers (MOSFETS) which are energy misers. You can add that the controlers for AC motors are more versatile in the programing capabilities.
