A big advantage of flesh over nails is consistency. Varying fingernail length and shape can throw off accuracy. You may over time develop and bit of callus on the fingertips that can increase volume. Sensitive guitars work better for bare fingers than ones that require more of a punch to develop tone.
That said I usually go for short fingernails.

Woods hands pick by eye and ear
Made to one with pride and love
To be that we hold so dear
