Hi - My opinion on this is that the TBSS approach is good for the bulk of white matter (which is what TBSS is all about), but sub-optimal near the cortex, where you may want to have your seed ROIs. Therefore, the FDT default favours using a T1-weighted structural to drive nonlinear registration to MNI space, ideally with a good distortion correction of the diffusion data.

Cheers
Saad
