I think it depends on body type and personal preference.
I LOVE drawstrings in athletic shorts (including cycling shorts). I have a small waist but big hips, so drawstrings allow me to wear items large enough for my hips without falling off at the waist. This is particularly important for tri shorts because I'd hate for them to collect water at the waist when I swim!
I also love them on running tights/capris because they keep the bottom where they belong and not shifting around over the course of the workout/run.

Just be careful not to get the drawstring stuck in a knot when you have to go to the bathroom really badly at an event ride and there's a really long line behind you for the bathroom.
Don't ask me how I know this.
