After that happens, it is most often the opponents, not us, who have to concern themselves with the subtleties of MP vs. IMP odds in relation to the LAW.
So, my answer is BOTH.

So to bid to the 3 level over the opponents' 2 level bid, you need 16 total tricks at MPs and 17 total tricks at IMPs, and to bid 3 over 3, you need 17 total tricks at MPs and 18 at IMPs.
But - if you are seriously worried about going down 2 (especially vulnerable) opposite a part score, then the probabilities change, both at MPs and at IMPs.

If I have time, I apply all of them to a hand. If most of them tell me to do the same thing, it's probably right.
Any one of them by itself will often be wrong.

That's not a LTC problem, it's a partnership agreement/understanding problem.

He was using "LTT", a bastardization of LOTT...LTC is not the issue.
