Root [T-Mobile] Can I root unlocked ATT phone to TMobile?

Over the weekend I switched from ATT to T-Mobile. The phone is S3 issues on ATT. It is all unlocked. However, it has all the ATT bloatware which I for sure don't need anymore.
Since I am on T-Mobile now should I use the root for T-Mobile or for ATT?

Thanks.
 
1) if you have enough storage space for the apps and data you need, who cares about the bloatware? It just takes up space. If you don't need the space, don't bother.

2) Check the radios in both versions AT&T and TMobile (I'm too lazy at the moment to check). If they don't have the same LTE bands, you won't be getting LTE.

Its kind of annoying to have ATT apps on a phone that uses T-Mobile apps, plus there is never enough space :).
