16-bit CRC Vs 32-bit CRC

Does anyone know the advantage of using a 16-bit CRC circuitry vs a 32-bit CRC circuitry?

If you don't have to protect more bits that a CRC16 can cover, you better stay with the CRC16 and add a few bits for a better protection. There are codes that can uncover multiple errors as well as forward error correction.
