apart from full court press I don't think any other defense is influenced by stamina in any special way, apart from the general decrease of player performance that is in function of the stamina.
I always play m2m unless I have a really hard game where I have to try and guess the opponents attack tactic to give me an edge in a game I'd otherwise probably loose.
And from following the croatian top league, the national teams and BBB, I notice that most top managers play m2m more often than other tactics.
As I said, balance is the key
