The best one I've seen so far is the one written during the Debian "default init system" debate: https://wiki.debian.org/Debate/initsystem. It's highly detailed, and lists many pros and cons, not only for systemd but also for its alternatives.

If you have a lot of time to spare, you can also read the full discussion which led Debian to choose systemd by default: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=727708.
