Well theres plenty of debate as to why the ancients used FTL on Destiny instead of hyperdrive, so lets try and get some theories together.
I personally don't buy the idea that FTL is some primitive light speed travel that could be cobbled together by cave men. So some theories that Ive managed to come up with are...
The second one is my person favourite
You guys got any good ones?

- That Destinys FTL was designed specifically for use with a 9 chevron address (possible for moving gates) that the gate can be kept tracked in FTL but not hyperdrive, not that it can connect a wormhole in FTL, but that it can recieved a signal to tell the ship to drop outta FTL.
- That Destinys FTL is actually a much more efficient method of faster than light travel, in terms of power utilization, apparently untrackable and possible speed (with enough power) hence why it was chosen for this mission, but it also has a major disadvantage, gravity from nearby stars can really mess with it (Faith) so detailed star maps are required for use (i.e. the data from the seeder ships in this case) so it was never used on most ships.
- That Destinys FTL is actually an experimental drive developed by the ancients and due to the sensitive nature of Destinys mission, it never became well used in ancient society.
