Invite-only systems are generally really great at keeping people out. Systems like Wave implement invitation systems generally because they aren't ready to scale.
If you're ready to scale, and there's no compelling reason not to open registration, then I'd say do it.

So they in theory should be more likely to fill out their profiles and participate in the site. Making the site invite-only also solves a lot of issues, spam links chief among those.
