Well, for specific licenses there are use cases for MPL, which is weak copy left. LGPL is trying to state that statical linking is not allowed, while MPL does. Also, EUPL have simmilar advantages over AGPL, plus that it have very clear defined legal juristiction. So, when it comes to specific licenses there are many reasons to use whatever licence you use. Just make sure you use a license that reflects your expectations.
You can statically link LGPL code so long as you provide the end user instructions on how to use a different version of the LGPL portion of your code.
