The "conventional" method should always be default in any racing. But if the grip is very low, or you run into a grip problem during a race, try to use the sliding to attack the corners, instead of fighting it.
For me its more natural to drift correctly and use the throttle to steer. But I'd hazard a guess that this comes from my inexperience, heavy handedness (or fingerdness???), and previous use of this method when racing real cars and motorcycles. I've been slightly modifying my setup lately to be more planted and my driving style to be more consistently fluid on steering input and my lap times have dropped.
You can use drifting to pass others after late breaking them into a corner, but if you get it wrong you'll either push wide on the exit or have your rear/side smashed in from the one you passed. In real racing only the experts use this method and only when passing others that they trusted would checkup and not run into them. I could only get the hang of it while racing cars, but never had the guts to try it on a motorcycle. In RC its pretty fun for me but I only do it while racing on low grip asphalt or in practice on carpet just to have a little fun.
