The Ancients used FTL drives for Destiny and the seed ships because of the possibility of using the Stargate to get there, along with the power requirements. Hyperdrives have no limit on speed, directly related to power. FTL has a finite speed, increasing as time in FTL increases. However, you have to constantly drop out to recalculate course so you don't crash into planets, stars, ships, or floating replicators at superluminal speed. Destiny used FTL so that it could go faster and so that the Stargate could be used to get to Destiny's location.
