Which cord cleat do I choose? Plastic or Metal

Secluded
6 years ago
Hunter Douglas woven wood blinds were hung in my home last week; included were plastic cord cleats to wrap the cord around... as shown in the picture below along with the space.
My question is do I use their plastic cord cleats or do I buy metal cleats?
I was a little surprised by the plastic given how expensive the blinds were and I’m not that bright to figure this out.

    We have installed many Hunter Douglas cord cleats using the provided clear plastic cleats. They install easily and hold the cord with no issues. The clear plastic is also nice because it does not visually distract from the shades.

    Yeah, I figure they're using the clear plastic so you don't see a clutter of little metal bits when the blinds are up...

    thank you all for the options. If decided Im going to shorten the string and not use cleats at all.
