Interesting question. I tend to use the most "efficient" method for the set of conditions and location I'm fishing. I use plugs, live eels, dead eels, and three different types of rigged eels. Each has a set of conditions when they work better than the others and PRESENTATION is the key. For example: Trying to present a live eel into a shallow boulder field with a 20 knot wind right in the puss may be futile...but casting a riggie or eelbob in the same conditions rewarding.
A surf fisherman that gives a blanket statement that one method is more effective than the other does not completely understand the other idiosyncrasies of surfcasting stripers.
All that said you must still remember that a live eel is still in fact a "live bait" - and we all know that day in-day out live bait is the most effective way to take almost all fish - including striped bass.
