Sub panel & isolation transformer voltage

Is there an advantage hooking up 240V to the IT then stepping it down to 120V to the sub-panel or is 120V straight good enough.

Similiarly the fridge, washer, large motors that kick on by themselves. You have three lines coming to the house- one neutral and two hot. Put the two hots on one circuit and you have 220. Only one hot is 120. So I keep noisy junk on the other leg (other hot). Of course, you are still connected to your neighbors junk.
