Off, always off. To me they look much much better without.

It really depends on the finish and other hardware. Looks good both ways, really.

The solution therefore is to windmill every strum. EVERY. FUCKING. STRUM.

Don't really mind, if the guitar already had one on I probably wouldn't bother taking it off, nor would I fit one if it didn't have one.
After all it is only a piece of plastic.
