LeveledCompactionStrategy is still a new piece of kit for Cassandra, and probably should be used sparingly. If I've understood anything I've been told, it's best fit is if the workload involves many random overwrites distributed over a large set of rows & columns. It's also currently not concurrent, so if nodes have high I/O throughput and many cores, it's even less likely to perform as well as standard compaction.
