Floating or intermediate line for sea trout fishing

Hi, what is the main reason for using floating line for sea trout fishing? Is the main reason seaweed on the shore? Is it shallow water in which sea trouts are often caught? Is it due to sea trout food appearing close to surface?
I have started to use slow intermediate 11m long head with floating running line (Rio Outbound #6). Thanks to floating running line I have minimalized problems with seaweeds and thanks to slow intermediate head I can use low weighted flies.
Thanks for your answers.
