Input capacitance is 1154 pF at 25 V drain-source, a figure that influences the turn-on delay and the driver's peak current capability.
The TO-220-3 through-hole package is widely stocked and straightforward to hand-assemble or wave-solder.
The TO-220-3 package has a metal tab for direct heatsink mounting; the tab is electrically connected to the drain, so an insulating pad or thermal compound is needed when using a shared heatsink.
