Any suggestions when making snack sticks? Should I use a paddle mixer with cold water or a buffalo chopper with ice?

I have made homemade snack sticks using cold water and a mixer in the past and they came out great. I am now in the process of doing larger batches at a USDA plant and they suggested using ice and a buffalo chopper. Anyone has any thoughts or experience processing the snack sticks that way? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
