You need rolling starts on an Oval, no question. Unsuitable gearing, banking, etc, plus the comparative ease of lining them up on an oval mean there's no real argument. On road or street circuits there's for and against both. A stalled car is dangerous from a standing start, onthe other hand the first corner accident is going faster from a rolling start.
The usual deal in Britain is series with turbo cars tend to be rolling starts and atmospheric engines start from standstill. Whether this is a technical or safety issue I couldn't tell you - heat build up, or getting a turbo wound up from nothing, perhaps?
