Can you be more specific as to why?

Why?  They are two different settings -- Hypermodern to avoid heavy center
control and more play to the flanks and aggressive to obviously increase
attacking in general.  The aggressive setting is great and can be very
successful if it can make something happen during the meat of the game but it
can also lead to hasty mistakes in the endgame.

Using only hypermodern has many benefits and it is currently thought to be the
strongest setting vs. humans.
