Bought a new macbook pro, need advice on screen protection.

So I have owned two macbook pros in the past and have seen them in all seasons and circumstances.

My first macbook pro got a screen guard the day I bought it (without second thought) as I bought it through my one year hard earned internship salary. I haven’t peeled it off yet, it has been 10 years and the screen still looks brand new.

My second macbook pro is my company laptop which didn’t get the screen guard (you know why). It has collected all kind of screen diseases. Scratches, dents, dead pixels, keyboard print and what not. I remember using it outside once and it collected few dust particles and I wiped it off with a microfibre cloth and it scratched the screen with very fine lines.

Now finally I bought the latest macbook pro and was doing some research on how to protect the screen but the internet seems to be divided. Few saying the screen guard will ruin the screen (as there is some kind of protective layer on the screen that gets peeled off with the screen protector) and use a microfibre cloth on the keyboard to protect the screen. The other side saying it’s okay to use a screen guard, it doesn’t ruin the screen.

What should I do? Get a screen guard? Or just a microfibre cloth will work? Please advice.
