Have these advantages saved the day in your games?
A few times, yes. Its a good advantage.

They fit nicely in settings with low armored tough guy types like the Conan type games I've run.

While yes strictly speaking Combat Reflexes is much better if you have the extra 5 points for it, unlike HPT it can be taken later.
