Quite frankly, I've never had an adequate explanation of why it would be more desirable to run the hardware clock at UTC.
From a user perspective, it would likely mean no difference. But it's better to offset from the standard for local needs. Don't forget, Unix originated in the telecom world, where UTC is the standard. It was also used in scientific areas, including astronomy, where again UTC is generally used. So, UTC is the reference for everyone, who then adjust for local use as necessary. Also, IIRC, Linux & Unix time stamps are in UTC to avoid the ambiguity that occurs when using local time stamps.
