This is kind of like a 'what kind of oil' thread on car/motorcycle forums. It's down to your preference and style. I started out anchoring, but switched because there's less tension in my right hand (and my play feels more comfortable and fluid) if I float the pinkie.
Here's Molly Tuttle, not anchoring.
Here's Jorma Kaukonen anchoring.
The common theme is, they both practice and play lot more than us.
