Hand Designed vs. Procedural Generation what is better : Project Zomboid Ep. 6

Hello Survivors! Project Zomboid with the crew was an absolute blast. Yet it got us thinking about a post that Indie Stone made on Twitter. They had asked the public about map generation, and if they had a preference between the static pre-designed map, or a procedural generated map. What are the bonuses of having a static map design, a map design with more RNG, or even a procedurally generated map that survival games like Minecraft have been so successful with? What are the negatives of those designs? While we love Project Zomboid because you feel like you are part of the story, is there potentially a better map generation method?
