You kind of answered your own question.
When fishing big bugs like hoppers, the splash will attract fish that are looking for hoppers to fall into the water.
The fish are geared up for the sound and the ripples in the water.
Now other times, when only small may flies and other insects are in a hatch, you will need to be stealth and this is when the delicate presentation will benefet you.
When I fish a size 22 Griffith's Gnat or a sizs 20 BWO, or other very small dries, I like to use a double tappered line and 2# tipit. This set up will spook less fish.
So it all depends on what you are fishing with and what the fish want.
Both methods will work in the right conditions.
