It was not available when I was in the FAA but I would put as much as I could in a Roth TSP.
No taxes or RMD's (Required Min Distibution) in your retirement. Or a mix of both regular and Roth. Below is from TSP website
"With Roth TSP, your contributions go into the TSP after tax withholding. That means you pay taxes on your contributions at your current income tax rate. The advantage of the Roth TSP is that you won’t pay taxes later when you take out your contributions and any qualified earnings.
You may consider splitting your contributions between Roth and traditional. Note that if you receive automatic or matching contributions from your agency or service, those contributions will always go into your traditional TSP balance and cannot be converted to Roth within your TSP account."
