Personally I always play with the FG (obviously I'm not neutral) for one reason: I like the players to wear the correct uniform when they change team and aren't frozen in time. I start in 1871 when I play so watching the players retiring in the old NA, AA and NL jerseys is a nice touch that photo doesn't give...

Also like you said we are very good now doing them contrary to 10 or 15 years ago...

Edit: the problem with the photos is that they use the old first name_last name covention and it doesn't always work... on the other hand having all of them rename by minor league id would make the process of finding an individual picture a huge chore to do.
