For me it really depends on the spot I am fishing on a given tide. Some places you need a big, lively eel to dig in the current and make it to the bottom. Fish a dead eel there and it will do little more than spin in the current and ineffectively hang in the land of bluefish. Other spots a lively eel will do little more than bury itself in the rocks and cause headaches; this is where dead or nearly dead eels reign supreme. Further, my preference changes at the same spot as the tide builds, peaks and slows back down. To say one way works best across the board to me says you either fish one type of shoreline structure all the time or you are not taking full advantage of what your spots may offer.
