You can start destroying nonbasics turn three! Plus it has morph just in case (in which case you can't destroy nonbasics until turn four, but that's the tradeoff.) Better than Dwarven Driller because it's cheaper to cast and it doesn't give the opponent a choice.

One of the cards that the Morph is there because its actually a more efficient creature that way. If you're up against a crapload of basics he's still a Gray Ogre!
Dwarven Miner is surely better. Concerning Dwarven Driller, yes it's more expensive to cast, it gives a choice, but it can destroy basic lands and the ability has NO MANA COST. Only two damage of course are too few to make the choice difficult, but somtehing like ": Dwarven Driller deals two damage to target land's controller" is far from being a bad deal!
