Post Why a T- Tail?

Ive been trying to find this answer for a while now.
When designing aircraft what are the main reasons for choosing a T- Tail over a conventional?
I realise with something like the 727 youve no real choice due to the proximity of the engines but are there any aerodynamic resons to choose one over the other.
Also what are the advantages/disadvantages?
Any help hugely appreciated.

Happy Xmas,
