But when it comes to improving your game, gi is better. It actually helps with your no-gi game as gi forces you to be more alert(trains your muscle memory and reflexes) because of the unlimited grips and counters you can have with the gi.
Maybe coz my grip strength isn't as good, and DOES IT HURT. But one can roll in gi minus all the grips.
Also in no-gi, I find it easier to slip out of tight spaces compared to gi which has more friction.
I prefer gi because it feels more like a mental battle with the grips. No gi relies much more on athleticism. However, looking at my competition record I have done better in no gi almost every time.

So in short, for a match, no-gi.
For training, gi
