Reasons are twofold:
1) You get TLS encryption and verification for free.
2) You enable other servers who want to stay anonymous to stay completely
within the Tor network (and also not accidentally not use it).
the same (maybe even more importantly) is true for 11371 and your users.
I put my hidden service as keyserver into my ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf (alongside
keyserver-options no-honor-keyserver-url) and made bash aliases bla1='torify
gpg', bla2='torify gpg --search' and bla3='torify gpg --recv-keys'.
