I think its good to train with those that are better than you but i think its important to train with those that are worse.
The problem with training with people that are better than you is that you become overly hesitant and you dont get a true appreciation of what you can and cant do.
Its not a fair assessment of your own ability. I say all this because i was told by my instructor specifically to start sparring with people that i was better than because i was undervaluing my own ability and then when i did make the change to sparring with those that werent so good i was holding back. I was expecting things that werent coming. So what did that do for me, it meant i was missing out and not fighting to the best of my ability. Those are some pretty serious consequences.
Overall you have to spar and train with a variety. not one or the other imo.
