I shoot both and always have.  :dunno:  If I could only use one I would pick a glove only because in the woods I can use my hand freely with out worry of loosing a tab. I honestly can't say I shoot better with one or the other or one feels better than the other. I do tend to grab the tab more for 3D shooting since I shoot strictly 3 under at 3D shoots. Hunting and target practice I finger walk the string so need the ability to shoot 3 under, split, and 2 over, tab won't do that.

Back in the day when I shot a compound, I used a tab. Then to a release. Then switched to trad bows and I still had my tab. Every shot of my recurve, the tab would go flying. So, I bought a Damascus glove and haven't gone back. Once it's on my hand, I forget about it. I also carry a backup in my pack.
In cold weather, I have a wool glove that I cut the three fingers off at about the second knuckle, keeping the thumb and pinky finger on. The glove fits under the wool glove.

Damascus glove is great, used them for years, but the heat in Texas and subsequent sweat deteriorates the leather quickly.  So gloves don't work for me in Texas.  So tabs for long 3-D shoots and just a camo mesh glove for hunting.

Always preferred a glove myself. But I've also tried many a glove before finding the ones that suite me and my shooting style.
