No fairing.  Definitely no fairing. 

Only liquid cooled monsters are allowed to have fairings and even then, it's not really ok.   ;D

What "looks better" is without. You may have a purely practical reason (like commuting on the highway) for having it in which case; keep it who cares what other people think. If it doesn't matter, ditch it! The posts here confirm it is empirically better looking without.

It's a joy stick, silly [moto]

I will stand up and defend the fairing - I am that brave 8)
By itself it's a nice design. In pictures Monsters look great without, but with a normal sized rider..... not so sure.
For me, at 6'4", I need the extra visual bike size. The unfaired chopped Monsters look so tiny under me otherwise.

I realize I haven't made a convincing argument, so do whatever pleases you [moto]

I think you should stick one of those orange fiberglass kid flags in that mirror stump.  That'd be awesome!!

I personally don't care what anyone else thinks. Do what ya want and what gives you wood. I for one run with the fairing and choose to show it off by playin dress up with it:

I'm keeping mine on. I like the look and wind protection (however little it may be).
