I personally think it is fine to ask others opinions, though when it comes down to it that is all it is, opinions.
My Shield has the safety. I have two small children and wanted just a little bit of extra security. And no, I am not leaving my gun on the desk hoping my 3 year old won't grab it. I do try to be as careful and vigilant as possible but just in case I wanted that little extra. I figure there is more of a chance of a kid accidentally killing himself than me having an issue while I am quick drawing to defend myself. I just plan on training frequently with it.
IMO it is all about training. If you get good with it, it doesn't matter what you choose.
