i think metric makes much more sense because all the measures and sub-measures are multiples of one another in a regular sense...

like....1 kilogram is 1000 grams....and 1000 kilograms is 1 ton...

on the other hand in imperial you get:
"12 inches to a foot, three feet to a yard, 1760 yards to a mile."

how does this make sense?....why is the foot 12 inches but then there are only 3 feet in a yard????
