I will say Red has been a more fun experience in the low level grouping for me. On blue I usually just end up soloing because 1, its usually faster exp (groups are only better when optimized and I am no min maxer at all)) and 2, RL makes me have to bail often on groups or go afk here and there and people understandably don't like that.
The lower pop on red means you need to find where the groups are but people are happy to take you if they have room since more people = more exp. No one ever cared about my gear, what class I play etc. If I have to afk a min or 2 no one cares because they are still getting more exp with a full group. I don't know if its "more classic" but so far the low level grouping has been more fun. I think it was a great idea to implement the group exp for a low pop server where no one would want to play a group class without it. (ie. before group exp: 2 necros and a mage all soloing and 1 paly sitting LFG, after group exp: all 4 grouping and having a blast and being social)
