You need to keep really good documents showing what you did, especially if you later move them around. Do not count on the 1099-R you receive when you start collecting to be correct. I know this from experience. My mom's 1099-R was incorrect and fortunately she kept very detailed records. What you do now will need to be tracked until all your money is distributed, keeping in mind that you may not be as sharp then either.

The whole point of retirement money is not to take out money, but it's still a point to consider. I agree with the others here that you should contribute to both just to have a balance of each, regardless of whether you company matches.
