Google Chromebooks for education and management policies...

Hello,
I've been recruited (free volunteer) to setup and configure 20 Chromebooks for a small private school.  They purchased 20 new Chromebooks, the school has a G-Suite for education account and they purchased 20 Chromebook management licenses to go with the Chromebooks.
Although I'm familiar with Windows active directory and group policies, this is the first time I've used this Chrome management service.  Here is my big question...
Why should I recommend to the school Admin that the kids should login with a google account associated with the schools domain versus the kids logging in with a personal g-mail account?
Are all policies available at the device level or are there more policies available at the user level?    It seems like there are more options if you have everyone log in with the school's domain and then apply policies to users or OU's rather then being restricted to device policies due to the students logging in with personal g-mail addresses.
For some reason, I'm unclear on as to why at this point, the schools administrator is reluctant to give the students email addresses at the schools domain.  I'm thinking I should persuade the school admin that the students should indeed be given a school domain email and insist they log in using only that email.  Am I correct in my thinking and if so why?
Thank you!
