I'd rather see wood than plastic. And I would rather see finished wood than beat-up wood.
For me, no pickguard. I don't need it. I don't anchor a pinky or strum loose or hard and my guitars that have no pickguards are in the same condition as those which have them.
For you - it depends. First, do you need one?
