Without. It's best to choose your own pickup system that suits what you want to do. My best (so far) combination is Highlander (sadly no longer made) and K&K pure mini routed out through a stereo cable into a stereo capable pre-amp which allows you to blend to two signals to the sound you want.
Of course, if you never play through any kind of amplification system then "without" is the obvious default position.
Cheers,
Ian

Also without. I bought a guitar from Chris with a K&K true mini -and never used that 'lctric stuff - I use condenser mics.

Without because I only play at home.

I am doing no gigs currently apart from my own club, and on our club sessions I use a single large condenser mic ion a straight up stand into my Bose system. Once I teach people tat they don't need to chew on it like people think you need to with an SM58, the sound is absolutely fine and clean for vocals and guitar about 18-30" away.
We had one guy turn up last month, big voice, absolutely no understanding of mic technique. Ha paid no heed to the grimaces of the audience - i pulled the volume slider down to nothing.
I used the same mic for Steve James. He went out the next day and bought the same mic. Rode NT1.

I have a ton of mics, including Aston and Neumann, but recently used a single condenser mic hand built for me by a very clever friend. Sounds great on vocals and guitar from 2-3ft away.
