I think the only difference between the two methods is the time it takes to release the valve. I've read the modified sprinkler valve releases up to 10x faster, but I've never actually tested one without modifying it.
You could always test the sprinler valve out of the box, and, if your not getting the results you want, go ahead and modify it.

Yes, sorry, wasn't thinking this morning.
We haven't had any problems with the speed at which it releases, but experience has told us that our system is relatively inefficient. We have considered improving it, but for our purposes what we have works fine. It takes a good while to get the 5gal tank back up to full after we launch a T-shirt, but we usually can only shoot off about 2-3 t-shirts at a time anyway. The full 5gal tank can shoot one to the back of the stands, one to the middle, and one up front consecutively with no problems.
