Inherently in theory, the L match is less lossy, because you have one 
less physical component.  Since real components are not perfect, the 
more you have, (like the 3 in the T circuit, vs. 2 in the L), the more 
loss in the larger component count circuit.  This neglects loss that may 
come from undersized switch contacts, poor layout in the enclosure, 
etc.  One can only evaluate true losses by measuring power in and power 
out of any tuner.
