Anchored thumb or floating?

When I started playing a few months ago I played with an anchored thumb, but I found it got harder to play the bottom two strings the longer you played.

I was reading a post about the benefits of using a floating thumb technique and I have been using it ever since, it definetley gives you more of an equal tone on different strings.
