Using ami I feel gives more power. Some people have really strong iai, but I guess ami will usually be naturally stronger (all down strokes versus down and up strokes). Is one more modern? Can't answer that... I would say it's a matter of preference. Some comments: Jason in the video you attached is playing a tresillo (p up, a down, i down). For tangos, he does something most people don't do: a up, i up, a down, i down (instead of the usual i up, a down, i down). Not sure what Tanaka does. What I do is this: golpe with m and a, then i up, a down, i down. I start with the i finger because after the golpe with m and a, it is free to do the upstroke. When I use this rasgueado (with i and a fingers) other than in tangos, I do it like this: i down, i up (with a moving up without touching the strings), then a down. The i finger is being flicked from the pulgar, but the a finger comes out from mid-air. Cheers!

Jason's website teaches you to use more than one type of rasgueado. I think a lot of people will stick to one type of rasgueado more than others, and it's good to have the versatility to switch when needed (when accompanying an aggressive dancer, for example). I primarily use amii for most rasgueado stuff, but throwing in iai or even aiai can really give the compas a much added groovy flavor (especially if you do aiai loops really fast). I think there really isn't a 'wrong' method, and it's just like the whole paip vs. p(am)pp deal, where one is more louder, yet the other has a traditional sound, etc. Vary it up! Oh, and I like iai or aiai for tangos more than amii (if anybody cares), since it has a lighter feel before hitting a heavy downstroke, so the sounds seem to transition well and give good dynamics.
