First of all, of course it depends purpose of using it, will you wrap a vehicle or apply to vinyl, it depends on where you use it.
Secondly, You must pay attention which vinyl do you use? Matte, chrome, window tint. Special foils and vinyls are quite sensitive to scratch and if you use ordinary squeegee, probably you will see some scratchs after apply.
In other point is which place do you use it? Curved, flat, big area, details, wet surface or dry surface. Hardness of squeegee is important for that.

Felt Squeegee:
Pure felt squeegees has natural structure and doesnt have sharpened corner. So its not available all the time for wrappers who work at cars, vehicles. However some applicators are just working with window films, of course they want to softer squeegee related with it. Also I should say that its not available for wet surfaces. Cause natural structure of felt doesnt resistant to water.
