advantage of / in /to

In my grammar is conflicting information about the use of preposition after "advantage". One example is "The advantage of living alone is that you can do what you like.", but "...there is an advantage in (or to) doing something". "There are many advantages in living alone..." or "There are many advantages to living alone". I realize that you can use all three prepositions, but is there a difference in meaning, and which is the most common preposition?
