In terms of house changes for planets, Equal House using the Mertz drawing method would shift my sun conjunct Saturn into 1st (as opp. to 2nd)
and cluster my moon conj.pluto and a lone mars into 3rd (when before they were more spread across 2 houses moon conj Pluto was in 4 - mars always in 3rd though)
How would you describe the person in both cases?
Same aspects, differences very subtle to show mostly when progressed aspects happen to those natal placements.

... I’m only including the changed aspects.How did you choose which system to use?
By learning the nuances and subtleties of birth chart rectification and how house systems perform in both longitude and declination.

Did you not identify with a Traditional chart?
Not sure what you mean by "traditional" chart. There are many house systems astrologers use, not just one.

Why did people feel the need to create other systems than traditional ?
Can't really speak to the specific motivations of such individual astrologers, but Placidus is often used by default because variations of it have been used since at least the 10th century, but for many of us who work with astrology in a precise manner it is the one that has held up best.
More important than house system is to ensure that your Ascendant is accurate by sign and degree.
