I and many others use calculations but some folks prefer the traditional method

Ah so it is just a preference? Is there usually an actual difference on when Eid is between the final "traditional" observation and the predicted calculations?

There are no official Muslim institutions, most people follow their congregation or teacher. The choice of who or what to follow is also a personal preference.
