It really doesn't make a difference any more. Use what you're comfortable using.
Braid lets spinning guys match conventional guys for distance, and the drag/gear train of offshore-type spinning reels like a Saltiga-Z or Accurate Twin-Spin can pull the guts out of most of the surf-sized conventionals. They weigh so much that you may need a truss or a back brace by the end of the season, but they also level out the "better control over a fish" advantage that conventionals have over most spinning reels.
Still, at the end of the night, you appreciate that 14 oz Newell 220 or that 15 oz Calcutta 400 more and more. There's your big advantage with conventional--weigh and ergonomics.
