Well, how many good tactical games have you played that were isometric, vs those that were top-down? It may not be inherently better but perhaps it's given players a better experience.
I prefer iso. The other two rarely look good and look like boring cardboards. Call me a graphics whore but I like seeing all three dimensions projected. All the iso games felt a lot better than other types to me, even when the qualities of an iso game was questionable compared to one of the other types.
Problems mentioned here about iso can easily be done away with through smart design.

iso--my brain is used to processing iso objects.
games like close combat were top down and it always bugged me. i am not used to looking down at trees from the sky.
iso or top down is not a deal breaker though. can you offer both?
real time vs turn based...that is a bigger deal.
