Not to start a quarrel, but IME, which is considerable, at least certain "plastic" fenders -- Planet Bike's polycarbonate, or SKS's sandwich "chromoplastic" -- are very durable, perhaps more durable than metal ones -- and I include the Kelpies I recently installed, with both sheet metal and stays double the usual Honjo/Berthoud/VO materials. They don't rattle, either, if properly installed.
I won't assert the same thing about Blumels, Zefals, etc., though these too may be as strong as the PBs and SKSs. As for ugly, I agree that metal ones can look much better, though I wouldn't say that plastics are necessarily ugly. I went to Kelpies -- customs -- because no other fender would fit properly on the Matthews's almost 30" X 2.4 wheels; SKSs came close to fitting, but not quite.
