Eureqa does model selection as part of the optimization, so that would be an advantage over vanilla linear regression. Of course, there are a lot of specialized model selection techniques for linear regression that would probably be better. Using Eureqa for a linear model doesn't really make sense anyway. I think it would be mainly useful for exploratory data analysis.
