I find that mats are great for working on tempo as the consistency of the mat material doesn't vary upon impact. This allows me to focus on the swing as opposed to taking the lie and density/height of the grass into consideration. Since the majority of my tee and fairway full shots are designed to skim the grass mats are preferred for all but inside 76 yards(a full sand wedge).
I realize everyone has their own take, but it doesn't hurt to consider other points of view.
