What is the benefit of each one?

Just for Clarity, I understand the theory behind each.

But when dose the cloud mode become a benefit over standalone?

One benefit that Cloud mode has over the Standalone mode is that it eliminates the SPOF (single point of failure). Cloud mode allows to run multiple SOLR nodes so if one goes down the other will serve the request. It sure has some possible performance benefits as well.
