I think subconsciously we pick our own styles. Personality traits and temperment play a big part imo. Aggression and such.
Of course physical traits matter as well. But if a tall slow dude is naturally a pressure type fighter then that's what he his. Maybe he can become efficient at a different style but when he can he will swarm. And when shit hits the fan he will do whats natural to him.
Swarmers definitely have shorter careers for several reasons. For one, a swarmer usually need high aggression and high conditioning levels. These wear down when a fighter hits around 30.
The main reason tho is the wars the have. There style is exciting meaning a war a lot of times. These kind of fights take it out of a fighter. Not even so much physically but mentally.
