I thought the rules were different for postseason vs. regular season. I believe in regular season a TD on the opening possession still ends the game. I also believe that a regular season game cannot go past the end of the 5th quarter (and 5th quarter is 10 minutes long.)

All of the above would imply an advantage to taking the ball first in regular season OT.
