Group rate or single booking rates??

Our TA is giving us a discount of $30.00 / person form the current advertised price (assuming we meet the minimum 10 person quota). I'm concerned that the price may infact drop and groups don't qualify for the price drop protection.

 

My question is , is it more beneficial to book using group rates or have the guests books individually? My concern is, that if they wait too long - what if there are not enough rooms or seats? At least with a group rate we can secure up to 30 seats BUT if they book individually they can opt in for Price Protection.

I would do the group rate and then if the prices drop try to negotiate with the resort for the price of your group rate to drop as well.
