I would say there is one little advan on legacy addresses.  You can easily verify a signed message from a legacy address using any Software.
Never mind if I mention close source wallet along, but they are not recommendable, obviously. The first wallet I used, Coinomi (close source), I did signed a message with bitcoin address using it several times. Later, I used Electrum, it can also sign a message. Recently, I was testing Bluewallet, it signed message too.

AFAIK, there is no standard to verify sign message from segwit addresses,  and even bitcoin Core can't do it. Looks like electrum created it own verification and it is non Standard.

Only what I noticed was that a message signed on Coinomi can be verified on other wallets that support segwit message signing. I do kit think signing a message with segwit should be a problem this time around.
