Sorry to say this, as it will sound very negative, but I wouldn't use a tap connector type fitting, to connect to a ballvalve that is designed for a nut and olive. They are one of the most pointless fittings to use on side entry ballvalves. Why a washer seal is deemed satisfactory or necessary there is beyond me.
Exactly the same with toilet ball/float valves do you use a nut and olive on them doubtful
Not the fluidmasters they can do both
And don't agree with your last part there both the same if done badly but haven't come across one installed correctly leaking
I've even seen tap connectors installed old school style with string never leaked
Same do a shed load of maintenance in schools etc
Normally find the nuts arnt tight enough which cause the fibre washer to swell a lot more than designed
