I would think so, but the downside is it's taken out after taxes, so you'll have smaller contributions if you have percentage-based contributions (and the 5% matching is probably a smaller amount if taken out after taxes as opposed to before)
It all depends, a wise decision really sometimes depends on the outcome but rule of thumb if you're expecting to be in a higher tax bracket by retirement age then it's supposed to work out for the better, since when you withdraw you don't take a tax hit.
Me personally I stick with the regular TSP for that account, and opened a Roth IRA with an online broker on the side. There's investment options I like that aren't available with the TSP, but everyone's different.
