Recommended output from MaxMSP Syphon?

From the jit.gl.syphonserver documentation in MaxMSP there is the capacity to output Texture-stating “Capture the output of jit.world as a texture and send it out with jit.gl.syphonserver (you can also send a matrix).“

When getting video from MaxMSP, is receiving texture data always the preferred option? If not, when should matrix data be sent?
