Woud it make sense that a face balanced putter would work better with angled or vertical hinging, while using a more toe heavy, answer style, putter be more usful with horizontal hinging.Would it still work as well with angled hinging?

Putting is to individual to try and make it hard by thinking of angles. Putting is pretty easy when you can roll the ball, the problem most have is we play on slow greens and have to hit the putts which give/causes skid, bounce, and face angle problems. Make it simple, if you putted with a sledge hammer on slow greens you would not have much trouble getting it to the hole, or with break only issue would be face control. The longer the stroke and the harder the hit the less chance you have of making the putt.
I worked with a top player today on the PGA Tour on his putting for 1 1/2 hours and made it so simple for him that he went from insane, to I think I can win this week! Putter is one of the only clubs in the bag you have total control of the outcome, minus the unseen spike mark or pitch.
I do use a puch basic stroke. I tried switching to a center shafted two ball after a couple years with a TP Mills blade, and had terrible results outside of ten feet.
I think, for me at least, the center shaft makes it difficult to feel the sweet spot plane especially on lag putts where some number 3 acumulator is needed.
I have yet to try a heel shafted face balanced putter. It would seem that the face balanced putter would be more natural with the push basic stroke, but I personally have more succes with the toe heavy putter.

AHH! What I call the majic of the right elbow. Controls everything in the putting stroke.
Is this similar to the majic of the right forarm in the golf machine?
What are the key things you look for when examining a putting stroke, and helping players roll the ball more consistently?
Do you have any keys or drills you have your guys focus on to improve their strokes, and their putting?

If you watch Tiger he practices with his right hand only keeping the elbow connected to his side. This helps Tiger release the putter, Tiger actually closes the putter face after impact "BECAUSE" he aims right of his intended target a little. Most of don't and we release the club with the putter face staying square to our line. The right elbow does a coulple of things; it controls the speed, and face angle. Lot of times you see guys with their hands away from the body and they have to control the putter with the right forearm. When you minipulate the forearm you have a tendency to rotate instead of rock the shoulders, Decell on short putts, and cut with the face. The right elbow helps control all of these things.
Are you saying Tiger aims the face right of the target? I could see his clubhead path as being a little right of the target for a ball struck slightly back of low point. Is this what you mean?
What ever it is he does he sure gets a nice roll on it.
