Voting for witnesses helps secure the network.
It also rewards those witnesses monetarily, because it increases their chance to sign a block and receive the witness reward.
There are no drawbacks. In particular, it does not consume voting power. Witness voting is entirely separate from curations.

How do I know who to vote for? heh

Puzzled. New to this concept.
