That's is impossible to know which is used more without lining up all the players in the world and checking their hands.
The French grip is as you say, weaker in sound but better control of the tip. Spiccato might be easier. I use mainly the Italian grip and with a good bow, spiccato is just as hard to do..lol
Learn both grips and a few in between. Use what ever works.
