The straight stitch plate is my standard. I’m lucky that my Janome won’t let me select a stitch that isn’t straight when I have this plate on. I find it really helps when piecing together small things in particular

I mostly use the single hole plate, because I don't do garment sewing, only quilting. My new Bernina won't let you do stitches with the wrong plate or wrong foot on the machine as long as you remember to "tell" the machine what foot and plate are on it when you change them. I'm getting better at that.

i never use the straight stitch plate.
i don't think it makes a lick of difference to outcome.
not worth the risk to needles, shaft or machine timing if i forget it's there.

Now that you mention it- I use my straight stitch plate most of the time. I have a new Bernina and haven't done much other types of sewing where I need the other one yet.
I thought you were supposed to use it for machine quilting. Maybe I'm wrong.
