I use what would be considered close-tipped mouthpieces and I've consistently found I'm more comfortable with inverted ligatures. I like to play with the mouthpiece angle more acute, or at least the *ability* to pull the reed angle closer to my chin. I find that screws in the front interfere with that.

So maybe a major determinant for players' choice of inverted or standard is their preferred mouthpiece angle.
