If I have off coverage I am going to take more of a numbers split most likely and show a heavy vertical stem with a hard break. If I am being met with tighter coverage I am going to take a plus split with an inside vertical release and swipe/chuck the DB by me when I set him up inside to create leverage to get back out. Most of this thread has been made with the assumption of tight man coverage (lot of separation talk), so I take the plus split with the inside release mainly because if the DB sets up inside I get a relatively free release outside for a go ball.
In relation to Tate, the plus split with the inside release is also the lead into the slant route so you can stem is similarly and bang it up field and back out, so as guys jump the slant you hit the out rout off the same look.
