"I think the summer tours will have a bit of a bearing and ideally it would be great to pick two or three coaches out of the home nations.
"From what I have seen I think they are all great coaches. Warren has been the best coach I have played under but it would be great to get the other guys involved.
"It does put them in a strong position, being Kiwis. I think it puts them at an advantage over a coach who has achieved the same things who might be European, for example.
"The fact that they have psychologically a little bit of inside knowledge on the way Kiwis play rugby and how they might approach matches could be quite important."
Warburton recalled an incident in 2008 when Wales were famously involved in a haka stand-off against New Zealand at the Millennium Stadium as one such example.
"That was Warren Gatland's insight. He asked the players when did the haka finish and nobody actually knew," Warburton explained.
"He said it was when the first opposition player turns around, so it was Martyn Williams [the former Wales captain] who said, 'What happens if we don't turn around?' Warren said, 'Do it and find out!' I think those psychological benefits are fantastic to have from a northern hemisphere perspective."
As for the captaincy, Warburton said his sole target was to win a place on the tour, given the competition at openside flanker. However, the 27-year-old, who hopes to boost Cardiff Blues' hopes of winning a place in the Champions' Cup next season with a victory against the Ospreys in the Guinness Pro12 'Judgment Day' at the Principality Stadium on Saturday, did say that he felt he was a much better captain now than he was in 2013.
"I think I have changed a lot over the last five years as an international captain, and three years since the Lions tour. To other people I am probably exactly the same in the way that I speak and the way I conduct myself but I think I handle it a lot easier now.
"I did find it a lot of pressure and I did not like being in the public eye really when it comes to press conferences, interviews and photo-shoots. I don't like to be on a pedestal above anyone else. I don't think that is what a captain should be. He still has to have a great relationship with his players and that's what I like to have.
"I have got used to it now though. I have been captain of Wales, and including the Lions, for over 40 Tests, so I now handle the match day and the build-up week much better and it doesn't put me off my game as much as it used to.
"At the beginning I was more conscious about how I was going to deal with the referee, how I am going to deal with press conferences and post-match functions when you have to do speeches.
"Now I have done it so many times it does not bother me. I just take it as it comes. I am a lot more relaxed in my approach than I used to be."
