Bigsby bridge preference

Roman, (or anyone else)

I noticed in you photos that you have two different bridge setups on Bigsby equipped Tele's. One is the floating bridge like I have on this rig and the other is a three saddle, ash tray / vintage style bridge, with the back notch out.

Is there a difference in sound, function or any thing else to consider.
Which one do you like best and why?

From what I can tell already, I am going to have some issues with the height adjuster screws one the saddle of the floating bridge. unless I run the string down the center of each saddle (not gonna happen), the screws on the slack side will loosen and rattle. I'm confident that I will overcome this problem, it's the same on any of the six saddle bridges with the barrel type saddles, that I have worked with.
