Although I float fish just about 100% of the time, I agree with you guys that there are certain condtions where one method will produce the majority of the fish. This may be bias, but I think you can consistantly hook more fish fishing with floats and jigs, than drift fishing. Especially in clear water conditions. I always felt that you can always get a more natural presentation with float fishing than drift fishing, plus you can control how deep you are fishing much better.
