For example, GPAW supports both plane-wave and atomic-orbital basis methods. I know that atomic-orbital basis methods can have difficulty with electrons occupying vacancies for example, but what types of systems are good or bad for atomic-orbital-based methods.

To be clear I would like to know what types of systems have which pros and cons for both methods. I am particularly curious about metal vs semiconductor and surface vs bulk vs nanoparticle etc.
