It really depends on the industry as many are different.
With that said, for a large segment of the corporate world, there is a perceived difference and whether it's right or not, many in Executive management believe exempt employees are paid to get the job done, while non-exempt employees are just paid for their time. I'd also lean to say that salaried positions in general have more room for upward movement as compared to hourly; especially in the latter half of a career.
Again, it really depends and all compensation/benefit factors should be examined. There's no right or wrong answer.
