I think it depends on how much you like tomatillos.
To find out, get some good recipes and try them out on some tomatillos you buy at the market. Only then can you decide whether to sacrifice tomato space.
As for "smoked", I've never smoked things for salsa. I "fire roast" quite a bit and really enjoy that flavor. If I don't feel like going through the hassle of setting up the grill, I char them on the gas stovetop.
