Re: match or traditional?
I think it's more of a matter of how you carrie the drums. If you use a traditional sling (a strap going over one shoulder that puts an angle on the head of the snare drum) then traditional grip is the only way to go. Most Drum Corps I've seen recently use the carriers that go over both your shoulders that keep the drum head flat, this allows for the use of matched grip, and as pointed out is easier for drummers to learn.
