I would prefer the hole to the plug because it would make the coin more affordable, and for me originality trumps appearance. But I've also seen professionally plugged coins that really look good and they seem to fetch more money, perhaps a couple of hundred more for a DBD.

I don't think PCGS will even look at a damaged coin. Maybe ANACS or NCS will.

I think PCGS will now with their new policy of grading damaged coins as "authentic."
