I guess if you plan on trailering her all the time and have a watchful eye it might be better if the finish is good. But for daily or weekend drving when you might occur road chips/ or door dings is it better??
I have an A&C, but the previous owner had it painted when it was about 6yr old. From what he told me the gel coat was not quite as nice looking as the paint, but very close.

The big advantage is that stone chips rarely chip deep enough to go past the color. I would say the gel coat is more durable, but not quite as pefect and glossy as paint can be.
