Dead Snap or Spiral Snap?

I've missed about half a decade of live high school football. I have continued to follow the game, but I was unable to see parts of the game like the center snap. 

About half of the centers I've seen now snap the ball like this: 

How does your team's center hike the ball? What do you think prompted the changes to the snap?

I would venture to guess most teams snap it like this. Probably started about the time the rules changed which allowed it, 25-30 years ago.

Almost no one used this 20 years ago when I played.

I saw one team in 4 years back in the mid-late 90s. Seeing more as of late, but still seems far in the minority from what bit I've noticed. Though I can't say I've explicitly been looking for it, so it could be more than I realize.

Depending on what position I may be working on any given night, trust me I pay a LOT of attention.
