The case for NAND and NORCMOS technology is the most widely used.

1. As we know CMOS NAND/NOR require 4 MOSFETS and 1 layer of transistors.

2. Where as AND/OR use 6 MOSFETS with 2 layers, thus increasing the delay and reducing packing density of the chip.

So in layman terms by using NAND and NOR gates we save space and reduce the gate delay.
