I've been a HUGE supporter of this mindset for a while, I developed a jumpserve in high school, but soon abandoned it when I realized my floater was just nasty and much more successful. However recently with the intro of rally scoring and the refs being more and more lienant on ugly hands, the floater has become less lethal. Liberos will just step up to any floater with open hands and be able to make a good pass no matter how ugly their hands may or may not be. Because of this I went back to my jump serve and its worked out well because it forces the old fashioned bump pass. So with that said I'd have to say that outdoors in 2's the floater is better than a jump because of the rules involved and the fact that you have so many holes you can pick at.
