Taking the lifters off your bindings will not actually 'Do' anything for you. You still need skill.

As for lifters v. No lifters: I would say no lifters are better for freestyle skiing for the same reasons as lower frames on in-line skates. A lower center of gravity. The closer to the snow the better.

the purpose of lifters is to give you added leverage for making better turns.

is that something you're looking for? if it is, then ride the lifters, if that isn't something you are concerned with, then there is no need for lifters.
