If you have kids in college and have a family income above $160,000 - $180,000 (married filing jointly) then it may be advantageous to have a traditional TSP instead of Roth if it puts your income level back below the $180,000 cutoff for getting the American Opportunity Education Tax Credit. The Roth is great, but during the years your kids are in college it may cause you to miss out on this valuable tax credit.

Most people are in a lower tax bracket after they retire. If they don't have investments or tsp they will
usually have less than half the money coming in as when they were working. Investment dividends and
capital gains are taxed at a lower rate than wages.

It almost is. Very few people take the current tax savings and invest that amount too. Most people pick a percentage and leave it at that. Also there is still a tax break for just retirement savings when you file each year. Also given the fact that most people will be in a higher tax bracket when they retire than they are now, even if they did invest the extra from the tax deferment, the extra amount in their accounts at retirement will be mitigated by the amount paid in income tax.
It is worth researching and making an informed decision based on your personal circumstances, but for most situations, Roth is the best option.
