The single biggest advantage to ground pickup is scoring the tubes your alliance partner fumbles in your scoring zone.
I think the biggest advantage to ground pick up is when you fumble a tube in your scoring zone. There will be fumbled tubes. If you can quickly pick a tube up from the floor, you will save a lot of time over running back to the feeder and coming back to the scoring zone. In addition, too many dropped tubes could start to get in your way when you are trying to score.
